I've napped in a canoe before, but that position and location (scrunched up under a busy road in a buggy area) don't look like a way to get a good night's sleep.

Though if he slept in a canoe he is halfway to being an honorary Canadian!

Looks almost like heaven to me. I've often thought about sleeping on a small boat on one of the lakes for a year, writing about the daily life (Thoreau-like). Let's see, close to full moon, clear sky, hmmm -- great night for sleeping under the sky, with a ripple or two splashing against the boat.

Well maybe SJ, but I sure as heck would caution against it in October!

I had to quickly scrutinize the canoe, as my green canoe was stolen from Eastern Lake about 6 weeks ago! lol I agree with Scooterbug, that location is less than ideal for a restful night of sleep and obviously has some privacy issues to boot!

I always did tell my daughter to keep her eyes open for trolls as we went under that bridge to the beach....Hmmmm...;-)

My thoughts exactly.

I have to agree with both of you looks an awful lot like dog house itis.

Then I would recommend not sleeping on a public lake under a public roadway and public pedestrian/bike bridge.

Well, I mean, he did have a pillow, and it looks clean. That is impressive. I think I'd like to do that.

A $1500 Old Town canoe is impressive, too. I don't think I'd spend too much time worrying about this guy. ;-)

man or boat dreaming

Someone wrote me, "It?s a provocative picture. Makes you immediately come up with storylines, one right after the other."

To which I answered:

my story is a poem:

Am I a man dreaming I'm floating under Eastern Lake Bridge?
Or am I a boat dreaming I'm a man?

(Copied from the zen that goes something like: am I a butterfly dreaming I'm a man or a man dreaming I'm a butterfly?)

The canoe isn't the impressive part, since it is not his canoe. The impressive part is that he has a pillow and a blanket and curled up in a very tight spot.

FYI -- the canoe was returned the next morning to the dock from which it came.
