My daughter decided to take me out for a boat ride the other day, and she did an awesome job of keeping it between the banks8-). There is no hunting, or shooting in this vid. There are no crashes or fiery explosions either, just a nice little boat ride on the Muskwa River, Northern B.C.:biggrin:

Enjoy,
RD

Kids are so much more ahead than what we were at that age. She had me on the edge of my chair a couple of times.
At 15, she'll be saying, "Hey Dad, put the boat in the water please, I want to take my boyfriend up to the Tuchodi."
That is a great video presentation, nice editing job, very enjoyable. Damm, I like Dire Straits!

I'd say that it's time for her to sit the exam and get her Canadian Coast Guard Pleasure Craft Operators Card for sure! (: Oh,..nice river too.

It's hard to concentrate on the river when there is a bag of cherries at your fingertips :-D

I make sure to tell her often that there is nothing in this world that she can't do, all she has to do is try her best.:wink:

Glad to see that the clip is getting good reviews, I was having second thoughts about posting it.

More vids coming, I managed to rescue my Argo(Broken Axle) and we had a fantastic trip fishing for Pickerel last weekend.

Very Impressive, If I ever get a boat I'll be calling her for a lesson or two. She could teach my five year old, then my daughter could be my guide. Now dad can sit back and relax, very cool.

Thats awesome, thanks for the video! My daughter will be 4 Sept 29, and I had her working the trottle on my Polaris 500 quad the other day, shes not strong enough to steer yet but shes good at keeping consistent speed. They learn young eh. Rob

that is probably one of the greatest videos I have ever seen - you are truly blessed when ur children are interested in doing what u like to do and enjoy - u have to take it all in now because eventually they don't want to be with you anymore because they fall in love and u become second fiddle even when they tell you it will never happen

thanks for sharing - it was truly entertaining and adorable

:wink: I'm glad you liked it, she is in the process of learning to drive the Argo now. The girl is a Hunting, Fishing, ATVing machine.....Hopefully with interests like this she will stay out of trouble when she's older:lol:
My younger daughter is well on her way into these activities as well, but SHE has absolutly NO FEAR at all. Kinda scary actually:shock:.

haha that's great, good lil captain.
Be careful though, every guy that hunts or fishes is gonna want a girlfriend that has access to a jet boat, and worse, hunts, fishes and drives one herself lol !

That's an awesome vid!! You're one lucky daddy, pretty soon she'll bustin 180's and 360's. When I was that age I thought I was pretty cool sailing my dad's martin 24.2. Wish I could have been behind the wheel of a jet boat, then I would have been really cool.

"I make sure to tell her often that there is nothing in this world that she can't do, all she has to do is try her best.:wink:"

I know when I have kids I'm gonna think like that!

I want to see that vid of her driving the Argo,
