Veronica
and Bugs have been smoking wacky weed. They
decided to sit on the thwart instead of kneeling in the bottom of the canoe. Our
center of gravity was about three feet above our critical balance point. Of
course Don’s grabbing the right gunnel of the canoe and turning around to
watch me
get in did nothing at all to forestall our delightful mid afternoon swim. JG Well, After our ungraceful kerploosh in the Veronica figured out why we went swimming on Saturday.
I set the canoe (a double-pointer) into the river, then got in the front seat
to take the weight off the stern, which was still beached. Then Jerry got
in without pushing off into deep water. His weight was then balanced only
by the point of the canoe. You can envision the rest. There was no
way to balance the canoe with one tip on dry land DonO |
