Twiggy the Waterskiing Squirrel

Just when you thought you've seen it all . . . Twiggy the Waterskiing Squirrel! It is fairly common to see dogs on boats, or even on Waverunners on Lake Wylie. But a waterskiing squirrel? That's one's new for me.

I attend the Mid-Atlantic boat show in Charlotte every year. As you might know, I do love boats. Old ones especially, but I like to see the latest and greatest as well. Like a kid in the candy store, I guess.

This year, the show has a special guest: Twiggy the Waterskiing Squirrel. His trainer teaches water safety as this real live squirrel zips around behind a remote-control boat. He wears a tiny little life jacket, holds on to the tow rope, and really seems to enjoy the ride.

Try to get out to see him this weekend! If you miss him, though, I'm sure you'll have the opportunity to see a nutcase or two on Lake Wylie this summer . . . sorry, couldn't resist.

Thanks for reading my blog. For more blogs on Living on Lake Wylie and Lake Wylie waterfront real estate, please visit my website! Have a great weekend.
