Well It Finally Happened

[mic]

Been in a canoe for 30 years, never tipped. Well today was the day. Wish I can say I was saving a baby in a class 3 rapid, but no... I went butt over tea kettle in 8 inches of water in pond. I think that was the problem, I was trying to turn around and I think the tip of the canoe hit the ground and became a pivot point. Must have been funny to watch because I went in with on my back and feet in the air.

3o years and this is the first? You really haven't been trying have you?

[Jerry Rapp]

it is time for a flat bottom, and time for a water proof "life alert", I have fell and can't get up off the floor button. LOL!

No kidding. I went through a spell where I was gun-shy. I tipped 4-5 times in a couple months. Lost 2 Loomis rods. One time lost my only paddle and had to empty a plastic tackle container to move me down river to the end of my trip.

I haven't flipped in a couple of years. But they always come unexpectantly.

Once you prioritize safety and caution above making the perfect cast in the perfect location.....game over, time for a jet boat

Flipping in a pond? Surrender your man card;>)!.

Oh well. It happens and you might as well get it out of your system somewhere where you have a good chance to recover gear.

I know right. There were a couple of folks in a bass boat near by and asked if I was alright. I yelled out... just my pride hurt here.
