A couple in Burlington, Vermont, had an unexpected encounter during their Fourth of July cruise on Lake Champlain when two raccoons stowed away on their boat. The couple tried to separate themselves from the curious critters using cushions, while one of them attempted to calm the raccoons down. Despite the chaos, everyone made it back to shore safely, and the couple found the experience entertaining. Vermont Fish & Wildlife advises avoiding contact with raccoons due to the risk of rabies.
