Sleeper in canoe under E Lake bridge

Is that JT?

Things that make you go HMMM. I agree with caroling the story lines are endless

Way too pale for JT!

... it is not his canoe.

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

So the sleeper borrowed a canoe for the night. That is assuming the sleeper returned the canoe. Does the owner of the docked canoe know the sleeper?

OK: My scenario was that the hard times got the guy...he had to decide: lose the condo or the canoe...and he made the right choice...besides, living the life of the sailor on the seas is so much more romantic than making condo payments upside down. (except when it rains)

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

exactly.. especially if you are in the doghouse canoe... this is a very small town!

I love sleeping outside all snuggled up! Maybe that's all he was doing; I wouldn't have tied up to the pilings because of the traffic noise, but it seemed to have worked for him and that's all that matters.

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.

Hold on a minute SmileyJ. Give us the Cliff Notes. How do you know it's not his canoe and from whom did he borrow it? Is this an honest thief or a prearranged night out under the stars? A bet? An argument? What do you know, oh ye who tantalizes us with only bits and pieces of the story?

Mermy, I know the owner of the canoe. Haven't seen the owner in a few weeks, so haven't had a chance to ask if he let someone else borrow it. It definitely isn't the owner, and Old Florida Fish House didn't have a crazy night, the night in question. Plus, bar patrons don't typically have their pillow and blanky with them.

I don't know why he was sleeping in the canoe, but all seems to still be in order.

All's well that ends well. I go for the 'in the dog house' theory, and it must have worked itself out because our mysterious sleeper obviously has not had another moonlit night on the water. ;-)
