A funny story
A friend of mine runs a couple charter boat's on Lake Ontario. One is 30' lake boat, and the other is a 20' river boat for the Niagara River (below the falls).
So, one day a few years ago, he had a party of two on the river boat for some lake trout and steel head drift fishing.They were up river near devils hole when they saw something floating.They weren't sure what is was but they decided it was worth investigating as it's not all that rare to find bodies in the river. Well they motored over to it and found that it was a guy trying to swim across the river from Canada to NY.They tried to pull the guy into the boat but he didn't want to be rescued,and kept fighting them off. Finally after forcefully dragging the guy on board they called in the coast Guard from the Niagara falls station. **Here's the funny part** The guy was wearing only a speedo,a full length fur coat,a pair of flip flops,and had all the coat pockets filled with condoms The coast Guard said this guy had tried to pass the border previously by swimming across but was never successful. He never explained the reason for the condoms or the fur coat. Boy those Canadians will try anything to get to the USA.
