Canoeing

[marko138]

I love canoeing man. I go every year with my dad and a whole crew of people. We get about 15 to 20 boats sometimes and go on Father's Day weekend. Whole weekend trip...back up enough food and beer and float from friday to sunday.


I took my dog this year. He loved it. Why didn't you take the dog?

Looks like a toal blast, but a tad chilly! I understand your passion, I go every year down here, but the best I can say is we have crystal clear water and no gators, but zero rushing waters or rapids!! I have thought about going in the bay or gulf, but with my luck, something prehistoric shark fish would revive and eat me!

Sharks don't like eating people. The only reason why they attack human is that they mistaken us for seals when we're swimming or paddling a surfboard on the surface. We look like seals or sea lions then. Otherwise, they have no interest in eating people.

That's why I tell fellow scuba divers to not swim on the surface too much but to go down right away.

I know all the reasons and why it happens, I just know I will end up being that one chick that always gets eaten!! We have alot of bull sharks around here, the really aggressive ones, and while we dont have many attacks, Im just not a fan of taking that kinda chance. Call me crazy, since I ride a bike, but well !

You're right. Bull sharks tend to be aggressive and they do go into shallow water. Hey, that's why you have a knife!!!

this was the first time I got the fiber canoe... we usually do the alum for the toughness factor. But the fiber ones have butt imprints in the seats and are so much lighter.

Fuck life jackets... the fuckin water's deepest spot is like 5 or 6 feet. Allot of the time its only a foot deep. If its dry out when you go there are some places you drag major bottom.

But in the "safety police" defense... we all had floatation seats we could use in our canoe.

great pics, how come you left your pup home?

It was a big debate on the pup going or not. Went for no pup cause of no wife. I didn't want to be the only person trying to deal with his clumbsy ass and with my canoe mate, I was also going to be primary in the paddling dept. Just too much and would have did more harm to the fun toll than good.

Usually the Dan's bring the australian herder dogs and they usually swim most of the way and play fetch in the water... but this trip was late and the water was pretty damn cold... just ask Ray & Matt
