No one does it like the Paxton's, when it comes to freaking you out. As you know I headed to good ol' North Port for the Turkey holiday and well after getting thru the traffic nightmare I arrived on Wednesday.
They decide that we are going to go for a canoe ride in the canal behind their homes. Now if you have never seen a canal in Florida...well the easiest way to put it is.. that's where the alligators are. Before I continue I will tell you I had no idea what Brooks meant by a sunset cruise on the salt water canal. They have caught a few gators in the canal just for fun and of course put them back, but taking a canoe ride on this canal is just a bit freaky. Now you really have to know the guys but they are not afraid to fuck with you even when your out in the canal. The canoe's weight capacity is about 400lbs and with the 3 of us in there I am sure we easily passed that weight, which put us about 4 inches from the canal water. Yea... the vibe of fear was in me, no doubt. I don't know about you but I really do not want to die in an alligator attack! Just F.Y.I. Sean says the good thing about tipping a canoe in a canal is that you don't have very far to swim through gator infested waters to get to dry land.
Great way to start of my Thanksgiving holiday. Well we cruised around on the canoe throughout the canal and they also explained where they could hide the bodies without any trace. So at any rate we are cruising around and they decide to rock the damn canoe, and well that will freak you out! Holy sh*t, that was close enough for me. At least when my jeans got wet it covered up the piss that was running down my leg. Watch the video of the ride...
For the most part I feel pretty safe when venturing out with these guys, but they certainly know how to put the vibe of fear in you. Then of course after you get freaked out in the slightest it just becomes good natured ribbing the rest of the trip.
Hope everyone enjoyed their Turkey day. I know I don't need to eat until..um.. Tuesday.
