A real New England Clambake =p (there's an overturned canoe involved)

All right so my weekend plans got a bit fooked.
I'd meant to head up to Vermont for the weekend but ended up stuck in boring ol' MA instead... so Saturday afternoon I'm out on the river with a girlfriend and a sixer and a couple kayaks. REALLY hot day, we're just chilling on the beach, my fishing buddy calls to get in on the inaction, brings his canoe down, and just as he's unloading his canoe, the fucking SKY opens up. I could not believe how hard it started raining. He gets over to the beach and we're trying to light a joint in the rain, no luck.

No problem for Donk, he picks up his canoe and THROWS it in the river... UPSIDE DOWN.

The short version of the story is that the three of us ended up clambaking inside an overturned canoe up to our necks in the Connecticut river with a summer afternoon rainstorm pounding down on the hull.

Good times. It was the SILLIEST thing I have ever done in my fucking LIFE.

I predict your friend will go far in life....;)

He's in Engineering school... figures.
One thing to his credit, he can think outside the box.

and the canoe.....:D

way to go stinky! lol smoking under a canoe sounds like a lot of fun, im am going to try this.

That is awesome! It will ingrained in your memory for the rest of your life...congrats on your life long memory and sharing it with us..

lol I giggle every time I think about it.
Then again, I don't get much excitement in my life these days, so maybe it's just me....

that sounds like a good time i'd try that out.

One of those great memories that you'll look back on and smile:D

Sounds like an interesting adventure...I'm glad you guys were able to look on the bright side instead of being disappointed about the rain:jointsmile:

sounds like fun! i know i would have had a lot of fun!

Thats awesome man, thanks for sharing.:jointsmile:

AAAH!!! I'm a chick!!! Everyone thinks I'm a dude!!! lol

I think that your avatar needs more cleavage.

Holy shit.. I HAVE TO TRY THAT!

I actually COULD try that out tomorrow at work, we've got a few canoes. But the river might be a bit too deep. It's probably about 7 foot of water and 4 foot of silt. Needs dredging really. Sound like you had fun though. hahaha. :)

my dad used to do that with an ice chest

LOL

that is sooo new england.

edit: sucks you got stuck in MA. mosey on over to RI next time that happens

That actually sounds kinda fun, but it would be hard to do it here in hawaii.. We just have alot of beaches

That made me so homesick. Fun!

lol I'd been in Newport the weekend before and was so thoroughly disgusted by the slow-moving tourists, the snooty clothes-horse rich bitches, the traffic, and the COMPLETE lack of parking that I will never go there again between May and September. Good BBQ downtown helped make up for the hour it took to find a parking spot.
I like the OTHER side of Naragansett though- Wickford area I think- I used to take my sunfish down there to sail.
But my idea of a good vacation involves driving NORTH.

what a coincidence ;)

stinky I totally want to smoke under a canoe with you!

Tell ya what, we will have to find a HUGE canoe, like one that the fur-trappers used to use, and have a giant Canncom Northeast Region Clambake.
Rules are:
-No mexischwag
-No kiefed Beasters
-You must get out from under the canoe if you have to fart

Ok I'm not doing it if I have to follow the last rule..... :D

Okay fine, you get the butt plug then.

lol we used to do that up at a a bible camp my parents would send me an a freind to... only way i was able to bear with all the religious crap floatin around...we'd put on life jackets, paddle out to the middle of the lake, turn it over and sit there floating and smoking it was awesome

Nah, its the Bure.

I wouldnt get in any of them, the amount of shit in them in astounding.

You got water, mud, diesel in there for sure, and i dont really want to know what else lol. But i've fallen in so many times im used to it now.

ah, the Bure yeah. I've been in the broads many a time, as i used to sail. Haven't done it for a couple of years now. I've saying for a while to my mates that we should hire a broads crusier, couple of crates and a couple of Oz. Go on a little boat trip, haha...

Buzz if you do that I'm coming whether you like it or not. I'm a respectable sailor myself. And the prospects for clambaking the cabin of a weekend cruiser.... oh, HAHAHAHA PERFECT!!! Shit, I'll bet you could squeeze 4 people into a San Juan 21 and shut the storm hatch... :D

haha, sounds good! Just been waiting for some good weather really, it's the first nice day today for god knows how long... I think I'm going to go and chill out in the garden again...

love the canoe idea btw, i'd love to do that one day, but not here because I'd probably get cholera...

We're lucky the boatyard didnt flood when we had the rain. The river got up almost a foot, good job it didnt come over. It's happened before though, came staight over the quay heading and came up to the reception bit.

I can get any boat you like for free, 22 foot to 48 foot. Well, not for free, but you can take it out for the day.

There's nothing more resourceful than a bunch of stoners smoking in the rain!:stoned:
Good clean fun!

I think the clambake has just become a tradition!
You can see the smoke.
The hat tree is our hats (well duh). All Boston hats, just in different colors: Donk= faded and dirty green, Jimbo=dirty grey, can't tell what color it used to be, Me= green, on the way to becoming about the same as the others. They all got sorta wet.

hard to pick one time of the year... rain or shine snow or grime any day is a good day

Yea I am going to take a canoe every with time I go out, it's been a wet summer in the UK.
The canoe story so was fucking hilarious I nearly swallowed my joint.:jointsmile:
