On Monday we had an opportunity to share skills and more with members of the Osce0la Sheriff's Department. The primary focus was on rescues, skills and having fun.
Quickly Dave became so proud of himself he yelled, "Hey, look at me!"
I thought he was going to say something about how great the foot brakes were in his kayak. But no . . . he seemed to be wondering how everyone else fit in, while he was stuck on top of his kayak.
And, before long he was upside down, while one of his buddies was too busy loading "ammo" to go over and help.
Before long, others arrived to help out. Here you see them getting all the water out of his boat before he got in - the right way.
While all these guys were good at rescues, it sometimes seemed that they were preoccupied with their weapons . . . and dreaming about the good ole days when they could shout, "Stop or I'll shoot!"
But the "perp" had his own weapon and was soon into the mix.
Since it was the first really warm day this year, it was good that everyone got into the "shootout".
Then we stopped and teamed up to do more work now in tandem kayaks instead of the singles.
Does this look anything like leaving your squad car with the engine running, in gear, and no parking break?
And, before long they realized they needed those paddles and quickly retrieved them.
Then they practiced teamwork and helping each other just like they may have to during kid's camp.
Before long we had several boaters in the water simultaneously as everyone got into the action.
Which, of course, resulted in a good ole movie type crash scene. Could we expect any more?
After everyone got back in, we concluded with a summary of the day. And, just like many of my other blog entries, the facts were extremely obscured by poetic license.
