A friend and I shared a similar event on Lake Labarge in 1983 in a grumman canoe.. Water started calm and nothing but blue sky, went down the middle, got caught in 3 to 4 foot swells. Couldn't turn left or right and had to keep paddling to gain relative speed to stay straight. Gunnels swamped twice and about 10 to the rim. Made a bee line for the edge of Richtofen island. We made it there near midnight, exhausted, and we were both pretty happy to touch terra firma. The most unpredicatable water I have ever experienced.Steve Meulmeesterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00307541743287005334noreply@blogger.com
