    In Maine, we swim with the squirrels.

    “We thought we were seeing things,” Ramsdell told NEWS CENTER Maine.

    If you’ve read about King Arthur and his knights, or even watched “Game of Thrones,” you know what jousting is. But have you heard of water jousting?

Water jousting is a tradition in the harbor city of Sète, France, that goes back to 1666. Robert Bancilhon, 75, learned the sport from his father and passed it on to his son, Christophe.
