Anyone "Northeast" still boating?
So, what river are you talkin' about?
"noah" wrote in message news It's just the jon boat, but there's a few days left of the waterfowl season up here. There's still something magic about throttling up in the icy dark, even if it's only 15 hp. For the jon boat, that's more than enough. I've been in boats on streams, lakes, rivers, and oceans, and it's basically all the same to me. Whether I'm hunting, fishing, paddling, or riding, there is an elemental connection between me, the boat, and the water. I can't truly describe it, it is beyond me, it is a connection that is buried in my soul, my core, and my blood. I haven't been blessed with a "seafaring" history (perhaps in a previous life), so I don't really understand my obsession with boats, but it is there, and it is real. It's much more than recreation, far more than a hobby. It is something I must do. So I will take my little jon boat down to the river. In the icy dark I will bitch about the cold, crunch through the ice, push through the mud, and when I start the engine, I will smile! It is me, and my boat, and the water, and all else, right now, is less important. Regards, noah To email me, remove the "OT-" from OT-wrecked.boats.noah. ...as you were. ) |
