In my post ‘Going Boating? Are you prepared?‘ I mentioned about speed demons. My boating experience revolves around my trusty old canoe, so I have to be very careful and keep a diligent watch for many of these demons who don’t seem to give a damn about us canoeists.
A couple of evenings ago I decided to go out for a paddle and fish while the sun was still up. Paddling was good but fishing was lousy. Anyway, towards the end of my outing on my way back home, a couple of guys in their motorized boat quite a bit larger than my canoe, seemed like they decided to also get back home but at a much quicker speed than me. Before that they were slowly chugging along until they were getting closer to me. Then they decided to rev up and push off. They must have noticed me in my orange canoe and orange life jacket, as I was in full view. The wash they created was considerable and I had to manoeuver quickly to point the canoe into the wash, lest I would be another statistic - man overboard canoeist.
Whats with these guys? The area along the Scugog river in which I canoe and fish is supposed to be a regulated speed, but I often find that this is never the case. One motorboat after another zooms by creating a wash that messes up the riverbanks and makes it very unsafe for us canoeists.
I sign off all of my posts with happy fishing in the kawarthas. Please don’t let me be one that is fished out of the kawarthas - I won’t be very happy about that!
