Floating Motor Deck
I see a lot of crazy activities on our lake, but this one takes the cake! Fourteen people standing on a wooden deck outfitted with an outboard motor and paddles! And, none of them wearing life jackets, not even the little kids. It has only been two weeks since the ice went out so the water is quite cold. Anyone accidentally falling in could be in trouble. This group was heading back to the boat launch late in the evening, about 10:00PM when I caught this photo.
More tomorrow,

So you have crazy people in Alaska too! I cannot understand how people can put their children at such risk, as well as the lessons in stupidity they are modelling!
Kind regards,

Hello Noella;
Yes, I think we have the corner on crazy people up here. Many come as thrill seekers, totally unprepared for the wilderness and the dangers.
Best wishes,
Gail
