WHAT GRANDPA DOES WHEN THE CANOES TIP OVER!

When the campers come to the lake and go out on the paddle boats and canoes, there are two rescue boats that are sent out on the lake, one to pick up the campers when they tip over their boats and bring them to shore, and the other boat picks up the over turned canoe and brings it to shore.  I was able to capture Grandpa rescuing a canoe. 




It is very hard work as you can see, and the men have to do it all by themselves.  Sometimes only a small part of the canoe remains above the water.  I think the canoe loves its ride to shore.  Great job, Grandpa!

I knew you picked up the stranded passengers, but never thought about what happens to their canoe. Looks like hard work.We look forward to seeing you on Saturday!

I never thought about the canoe either... I guess somebody has to rescue it. I would have thought they would "drag" it back via a boat... gret job Grandpa!
