Mike's top five

The HUGE river float is on for tomorrow down the Nechako. Mike's top five tips if you're taking part in the float (Top 5 tips for floaters).
#5. Though not necessary, it's nice to have your Pleasure Craft Operator card mounted somewhere in the wheel house.
#4. Be sure to get off BEFORE Quesnel.
#3. If you encounter a 19 foot sturgeon, look over at the others and say “we're gonna need a bigger boat” (ala Jaws).
#2. Keep in mind, if you hit an iceberg and find yourself looking into the eyes of Kate Winslet. She will let go (I saw the movie).
#1. Remember when buying a floatation device you should be looking for something that is more water PROOF than water resistant.
#1a. Remember to bring a stash of O'Henry bars with you. Nothing says floater like an unwrapped O'Henry!
