Have any of you ever seen a water spout? Never seen one in person but they get a few of them out on Lake Ontario every year. Water tornadoes.

I have seen one only once.....and we were quite a long ways away....hard to make out........water doesn't create the mess that land based vortices do......unless one gets on your boat with you.....LOL!!

Yep and then the darn things peter out like someone flipped a switch and turned them off!!! Yes if I ever do see one I would want to be mobile...really, really mobile......like 175MPH Ducati kinda mobile.......

And hope you have open road in the right direction ! LOL

Back to work tomorrow, all good things come to an end I guess. Been four days of working In the woods and running my saws. Hauling good shag bark and red oak. Sniffle...sniffle...I don't want to go back to work.

Figured after 4 days you would be tired of it....

Yep that would be necessary......'course out there about every mile you have 4 choices......wouldn't want to be caught intown.....but I suppose as with a lot of things of this nature...you don't get to choose the when or where......

There's not much more I would rather do than work in the woods. Don't get to as much as I want to these days but I take what I can get. A day cutting wood will always be better than a day at work.

Seems chit has hit the fan, I need to lay down ! LOL Knew this was going to happen. LOL But that wood had to be out of there ASAP. Stihl got another load of Oak to get. But its out of the way for now. Need to noodle some of it too.

You guys have a good one !

My BIL and I got caught in a water spout on Big fish Pond in Holeb Township in Jackman- 1985. That thing came out of the forest and hit us from out of nowhere.It threw me and my 18' canoe into the woods. When it hit the water it turned into a 4' wall of water and took my BIL across the entire length of the pond. When he hit the shore it threw him and the canoe about 20' into a large hemlock. Gone in minutes- very surreal. No injuries -repaired the canoe with duct tape and had some of the best trout fishing we have ever experienced on that pond the rest of the weekend. True story. That was as close as I ever want to be good blow.

Night guys.

My BIL was as white as a sheet when I paddled over to the other side of the pond to see if he was alright. It looked like he was white water rafting on the Kennebec River as I watched him get blown across. We were 25 miles from the nearest road and had to 4 wheel and winch our way into the pond. 5 lb.+ brookies were common on size #18 nymphs fished just under the surface. Late September fishing in Maine on a remote fly fishing pond- doesn't get any better than that.
