emptychair That sounds like an eerie place to be rescued from, and it was good they were rescued quickly, and safely, as treading water in a cold lake cannot be maintained for too long, I would think.

emptychair I would never go in a canoe, and any boat l go in, has to be a very big one. They were fortunate to be rescued, as once in the water, it is already dangerous, and the timing of any rescue is paramount. It was good all were rescued here safely

emptychair America is a much freer country than Australia, where emus come from. You can do it, here, but you need a licence as a gamekeeper to do it. I wonder how they got their hands on that emu, over there. I hope it was done legally.
