Yeah nar that's a big no no,fending out of control craft by getting your body in the line of fire with the oar.Always from the hip so it glances by cause it will go bad.A very very well known Canty jet boater lost his life by doing the cardinal sin.Died in the meat wagon on the way to hospital due to cardiac arrest.Push pole drove into his chest and he of all people should have known better.
The Clarence is dynamite on boats too.The bank is littered with smashed up boat pieces all the way down.
The other thing about the block that I find interesting is the geology sculptured by fault movement and river erosion.Enzed is just a pup in the scheme of things
