scothunter 12,609 Posted June 19, 2017 Report Share Posted June 19, 2017 Yea a good current or wind and its lethal. Inner tube of a lorry tire is more safe than that thing lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shovel leaner 7,648 Posted June 19, 2017 Report Share Posted June 19, 2017 Me and the Mrs went on one of those Nile cruises a couple of years ago , and we went for a little sail boat trip on this large expanse of water at Aswan called the cateracts . As we were going along there was a little speck in the distance, as we got closer we could see that it was a small boy paddling for all he was worth with two makeshift cardboard paddles sat on a piece of polystyrene . He aligned himself with the sailboat and grabbed hold of the side while we were racing along , he then blurted out a fine rendition of "row row row your boat " and "one taramera" we all gave him a quid and he was on his way . In this country you would have the coast guard, half a dozen police cars and the health and safety officer out . 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
