I was out for a paddle this morning when I spotted a sheepshead mushroom at the base of a huge oak tree on the shoreline. I got out of the boat to harvest it.
After taking some of it I got back in the boat and pushed off. When I went to grab my paddle it wasn’t there. Looking back there it was leaning against the tree.
luckily I had a spare. This is at least the third time I’ve needed to use my spare in a year. Once I snapped one, the second time I was trolling and had a on. I laid my paddle across the gunnels and it slid off. And now today.
Its amazing how far away and how quickly you can get separated from your paddle. Always carry a spare.
