      Ahaha just trying something new as ZwiftSZN winds down! Past Erik would have filmed all the clips and they would have just died on my hard drive… had to just do something and not worry about how it was gonna turn out/what others are gonna think!

    When I was a kid, we rode the US Maid of the Mist to view the falls up close in a boat and I spotted what I thought was a huge dead fish floating in the water on our way to the falls. On the return trip, I had gotten my dad and we both went to the bow of the boat and sure enough, we saw it again and this time ran to the back of the boat to confirm that, yes, we were actually looking at a human leg from hip down. Not a huge dead carp.
    We told the crew and they took a little 15' aluminum boat back out to retrieve it.
    We went to town and bought the local paper and sure enough, a guy had gone over the day before. A suicide.

      That’s the quintessential Hasty Market stop in Grimsby! If you don’t hit that one you’re SOL till Port Dalhousie or that lonely Tim’s.
