Dad & the Canoe




Chris and Brazos went down to the Lake on Saturday afternoon to do some work and meet the dock guy so he could start building it this week. Dad went too, to fish of course. Brazos decided to fish from the dock, thank goodness, while Dad went out in the canoe. Dad managed to rig up the canoe with a trolling motor so that he wouldn't have to paddle (I call it the redneck fishing boat). He was cruising across the lake to the other side because the fish were running over there, as he was turning a gust of wind picked up the front of the canoe and flipped it over throwing Dad, two fishing poles, the battery (for the motor) and the trolling motor to the bottom of the lake. Then Dad couldn't get back in to canoe so he had to swim back across the lake pulling the canoe. Talk about a cardio work out!! Do you think this lake is telling us something?? I have posted a picture of the house and where the new dock will be after this week.
