Fisherman Posted December 30, 2011 Report Share Posted December 30, 2011 Had another Darwin Special on Simcoe today, buddy figured the ice was getting too thick and needed to be broken up with his nomobile. Unfortunately the rescue crew had to go and pluck his sorry bacon out of the drink. Nomobiles are those things that don't work well in the water, when you try and start them, they go no no no no! They added a careless driving charge, should have been wasting oxygen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutdoorDan Posted December 31, 2011 Report Share Posted December 31, 2011 Satellite image form the 28th. Lots of cloud cover but you can see it's pretty much mostly all open. How do you think of... I don't even... Sigh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EC1 Posted December 31, 2011 Report Share Posted December 31, 2011 Should have kept the nomobile in full throttle! At least he's ok.. The back lakes barely have enough ice to walk on, so check before you bring your expensive toys out. Or you can just donate them to me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael 11:30 at night on questionable conditions eh, I wonder what the precursor to that was? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheaptackle Posted January 2, 2012 Report Share Posted January 2, 2012 Article was very brief but at the time I read it there were about 2 dozen comments ripping the rider to shreds. Rider & rescuers all ok was all the report basically said. Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
