Hilarious. And terrifying.

sounds brutal to me .... im one for a lake with a couple boats on it max...

Just to clarify, there were no other boats in the area and myself & the canoeist were the only 2 boats in sight. When the paddler saw me approaching, she was still on the edge of the channel and stopped to let ME pass, but seeing as there was nobody behind me and I didn't want to take ANY chance of causing her and her son grief I motioned for her to go ahead and cross safely.

 

When the yahoo in the tinny approached from behind he had a clear and unobstructed view all around and could have gone a dozen different ways to keep everybody safe, but instead decided to take the most direct route available and that was almost over the stern of the canoe.

 

Absolutely no need to do it other than the fact that he had NO concern whatsoever for the safety or well being of the people in the canoe.

 

I agree 100% that small vessels, or anyone for that matter, shouldn't be blocking or impeding the flow of traffic in a channel, but that definetely wasn't the case here.

 

 

How is it any different if you pass her when shes on one side of the channel versus the other?

 

 

I bet you are one of those people who stops on main roads with full traffic behind you and waves people out of the McDonalds parking lot....

If being old school is having common courtesy and common sense then I suppose we are.........
