Holy moly!
Good to see active concern/monitoring from the jet skiers (a segment that sometimes geta demonized by paddlers).

That was a calm day for that inlet. Crazy.

Wow. I can’t imagine going out in a canoe in those conditions. Or paddling anything without wearing a PFD.

It hit me like slapstick comedy, watching them repetitively driving the bow underwater, watching the freeboard slowly disappear as they turned around in retreat, watching one side slowly rise up while they slowly tipped out the other. Lucille Ball would have been good in this scene. Imagine Lucy feeling all helpful presenting the lifejackets, to have Ricky take the lifejackets from Lucy and toss them into the bottom of the canoe, declaring them an unneccesary demasculating nuisance. Then the expression on Lucy’s face as Ricky flounders to find one and struggles to put it on. The whole thing is pretty good fodder for a funny comedy piece.

They never tried to bail the boat as water came in, nor put on a PFD. I think Lucy would have been bailing like crazy with much of it hitting Ricky in the face.

You know. Husband Ricky, son named Beaver Cleaver, had a horse named Mr. Ed. Oh, and a martian lived with her. That Lucy.
Ah yes, I remember that show like it was yester-year, great stuff…

Shall we leave it to some beaver,
slap-happy tale loving Lucy the host,
of most unstabled equine,
loquacious as Wilbur might post,
that there’s a Dennis to menace,
in some Georgie Wilson’s war?
Wascally wabbit antenni are unretractive,
Miss Crabtree’s slapped Fat Elmo mid-snore!
