It is true at or about 1:50 pm Saturday June 23 on the Ottawa river for the first time in dame near 17 years Mike left his boat while upside down in the water resulting in him having to dog paddle the rest of Coliseum and then threw dogs leg. He was finally rescued by of all things one of the raft companies. He did make about 10 attempts to role but the turbulence below the Coliseum was too much for the squashtail. He ate his humble pie with dignity and I think I put on about 5 pounds from dinner that night. You should have been there.

Wow!
Bad news travels fast...
BTW if losers like Rob, Gerry and of course the "Uber Loser" Derek had shown up none of this would have happened because I'd of been rescuing their sorry white asses instead.

Well we'll just have to see about this "mike being the only one that would run the big O in a squashtail". cause I have one now!!! well it's being shipped today. I'll give it a few rides and see what all you boyz are complaining about.
All I see is a bunch of wankers looking to shit on someone who pushed his limits and paid with a wet ride. no worries. at least he's out kick'n it down!!
good on you Mike, you and I will be the only ones out there with such a sexy cool ride

Joe,
Must say, I did enjoy the slice of humble pie and the pleasure of serving Paul and Kevin as per our agreement.
I only wish that the next run lasts as long though we are all only one ride away from a swim.
Nice choice of new boat, you should love it.

Mike,
You should have called and I would've been there to rescue your ass, becasue remember, it was you swimming. I agree with Joe that one shouldnt be shittin' all over you since it is only the first time in a long time. BUt when opportunity knocks.... Just kidding!
I wuld have loved to be there and would have been there to help you out. Where were your "partners" in all of this. Seems like you were pulled out by rafters! Are they go enough to be called Partner!
Save any humble, I am getting hungry!

More like vultures waiting for the old man to go tits up...their excuse being that they didn't want to interfere with my swimming lesson.

Like I told Mike that night I would not bug him at all but we know that he would be dishing it out worse then the rest of us.

It was Mikie's turn to swim. I actually flipped behind Kahuna and the river looped me right side up again. But Mikie's luck was not so good. He flipped in Kahuna and couldn't get his roll and swam the rest of Colesium and Dog Leg. I was no more than ten feet behind in case he needed help but I mostly cheered "swim Mike, swim." It was great seeing the him get pulled into a raft! Man I was choked with laughter.
In Mikes defence I walked Colesium at the same level last year when I had my squashtail. It was freezing cold out and snowing and I didn't have any warm gear. I felt like a big pussy walking, but now I don't think my judgement was that bad after all. I hope I don't have a swim anytime soon or my "river bitch" will never let me here the end of it.

Sounds like a whole lot of "sucking up" going on out there.

The god father himself takes a swim. It makes me feel great to know that we are still mortal. Hope you guys are paddling your asses off, Hartman and I are at camp checking out the girls and having a great time doing it. We'll see your asses on our time off. Don't worry Mike, I will show Sam how to stay in his boat when he gets here.
