Sleeper in canoe under E Lake bridge

[Caroling]

I don't know which forum to put this in. Not just a photo, or environment, etc. This morning at 7 a.m. walking on the bridge over Eastern Lake, I saw a canoe with a man sleeping in it. It was tied to the piers in the middle of the water. He had a pillow and blanket, looking like he was in bed. Except he was in a boat. At about noon I checked again and he was gone. Here is a detail and the picture I shot. First thought was that he's camping out. Other thoughts are that he was dead, homeless, or clueless. I'd really like to know. Does anybody?

Maybe that is the only place he could get some peace and quiet!

I'm thinking its a more interesting version of "Being in the Doghouse" with the wifey...

My thoughts exactly.

I didn't know Riverotter was in town!

Hopefully he is okay. I think that I would have called the WCSO or game/fish or somebody to check on him, though -

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

I'm thinking that's just part of the canoeing experience. He probably prefers to sleep in the canoe rather than on the ground. ;-) He doesn't appear homeless from the looks of it.

Looks pretty peaceful to me!

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.
