Spring Boating

[Sinker]

Perfect spring day at the canal, warm, incoming tide, no floating weed and a gentle breeze for the yachts.

I did find a strange man hiding in the bushes down at our end (dressed in green) not sure what he was up to? but looked very very suspicious…………………………….Just sayn.

But you obviously didn’t see the local news the other night, where some idiot was paddling in the Tamar River in an inflatable kayak with no lifejacket on and not wearing appropriate clothing.

He fell out into the cold water and couldn’t get to the kayak. He was found hanging onto a buoy and was rescued just in time but suffering from hypothermia………………………………………..Just sayn
