Mission: MOOSEFEST, Brewing boat tea and the regular beat down.


Mission: MOOSEFEST, Brewing boat tea and the regular beat down.




It was moosefest so I made my drive over to Matt man and RObins house to pick up matty for the trip down.  I drove in the driveway and realized Something.  I kinda forgot that he coun't come this year.  First time in 15 years he missed the moose festival.  He was standing on his porch with a gun, and a box of ammunition and said.  "wana blow off some steam".  100 rounds later and a smoking barrel he had done just that.....


We met at the casino in 1000 islands, the creator of the worst kayaking videos in history.  Scrub that, best and worst.  I like Ben’s videos cause they are real, no cool guy editing, speeding up of moves, nobody talking like they are solving the worlds problems. Cars get blown up, gas tanks fall off, drunks get interviewed, hams get cooked on car engines and the occasional touch of porn gets tossed in for what amounts to No good measure what so ever.  We don’t know why S&M ben does it but we are glad at the same time.  In a bid to keep our costs down we decided that we would sell the heck out of DVD’s to make some money to pay for our trip down.  AND WE DID JUST THAT.  We sold video’s at the take out with a shot of Fire Ball Wiskey out of the H1N1 shot glass.  It was pretty wicked.




Along the way we ran into a huge Canadian Group that was a lot of fun.  We watched the whole weekend as Cale Reeder stuffed leaves into his buddy’s boat and then blamed bobby or Boydo, just to have some retaliation and Boydo’s boat filled with leaves too.  Both of them getting back at each other while at the same time brewing TEA in their boats for the rest of the trip.  We got blamed at first until everyone realized we were at the party and didn’t walk miles and miles to get the Cristy Hotel to do the evil deed….
 
Anyway People got worked, my buddy had a sweet run through Miggila upside down which ended in a swim,


but there was even a ducky on the river this year.  All in all we had a great time.  The group photo is of the Onterrible crew below Aggers…

Mission: Boating, Teaching and having a good time at it.





I love teaching.  I got 5 girls on the weekend that were all beginners from a local ottawa club.  Here are some photos.  We had a great time. Piano keys, with the dog, carving turns with the ladies all in all it was a blast.  The second day we all ran the middle channel.  Complete beginners but we had a great time just the same.  Special thanks to

Martin Cayouette for taking the photos.



Hope to see you all on the river.
