You ...shark girl<BR/>That was a really bad boating trip. You probably don't boat at all.<BR/>I never thought about snakes in the water but if I have a choice between a snake in the boat or a chance of some snakes in the water, give me the water every time. It's that "bird in the hand" adage.This Is My Blog - fishing guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03826128050970967135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-973593384239080192.post-68439898331586286712007-10-28T16:25:00.000-04:002007-10-28T16:25:00.000-04:00By the way, did you ever think about if you went o...By the way, did you ever think about if you went over the boat and swim to shore, you might be swimming with snakes in the water?<BR/><BR/>You have a brother like me.

I'm scared to death of spiders and anything that looks like a spider.<BR/><BR/>I got heat stroke prior to entering the mangroves and I forgot how to paddle the canoe. I couldn't even comprehend where I was and was about ready to pass out. I let go of the oar because I didn't know why it was in my hands and I couldn't get my hands or mind to function.<BR/><BR/>I got really really sick, and spider crabs were dropping in the boat. I was so disoriented I didn't know what I was doing, but my friends said I got out of the canoe and went up one one of the islands.<BR/><BR/>I got sick on the island and started coming to my senses, and had seen I had walked through several wolf spider webs and they were everywhere. I was petrified and couldn't find my way back to the canoe without going back through the spiders.<BR/><BR/>My friends were laughing and coached back through the webs that I had already broken. When I got back in the boat again, the sickness and disorientation came back. My friends started pouring ocean water on me and were going to leave me back in the mangroves and go for help. I begged them not to leave me with the spiders.<BR/><BR/>I layed in the canoe and they got me out of there and back on shore. I never went out again. I chose getting away from the spiders than to wait for rescue to get there. I didn't care if I died on the way back to shore, as long as I wasn't left back there with the spiders.<BR/><BR/>If we ever go boating, I'll get rid of the snakes for you if you get rid of the spiders for me.Shark Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09148235602133742425noreply@blogger.com
