Ah that’s to kind. I was just so happy that I was out there and went back to look at those rapids or else yes it would not have been good for them for sure. So happy it all worked out in the end. All the best cheers
Mark, helping those people in a time of need really shows that you are a stand up gentleman! A lot of respect for you brother, and the good deed you have done will not go unnoticed karma will pay you back in a blessed way! Look forward to riding with you soon again stay safe.
Dude you're amazing seriously going out your way to help. Mad respect to you for doing that, you literally could of saved their lives being out there. Respect to Mark for sure.
Thank you so much apricate that for sure! hey you know when you see people in help on the water or back country then you just have to help. But yes I was thinking after that it could have gone way worse if I was not there as I had not seen anyone else for 2 days they were the first. So just happy I was and they were all ok. Thanks again for the kind words all the best Cheers!
Ah thank you so much! Right could not believe how that worked out that I went to look at that rapid or else that could have been bad. All the best cheers!
Popped up on my recommended on my flat screen tv...watched the video and subbed. Definitely going to go through the catalogue of videos you have up as I'm in Sothern Ontario and love the areas you film on. Cheers and keep up the good work! Also, LUCKY kids!!
Ah thank you so much I really do appreciate that so much! Ah that is great I hope that you enjoy them and find some cool spots you might not have seen before. Right so lucky thank so much and again thank you for the sub and for reaching out all the best Cheers!
Yes was happy that everyone was ok after all that. Yes have to help people out on the water no matter what. Thanks for reaching out and watching the video cheers!
Hi Mark It was so nice to meet you at Dyers Bay earlier this week :) I'm really looking forward to catching up on your channel. I asked dozens of people about the state of the Georgian Bay. You are the only one that explained the Algie bloom cycles. It was exactly the information I was looking for, and couldn't get an answer anywhere. Thanks and best
Hey Mike! Like wise was great to meet you as well. I really appreciate it man hope you enjoy the videos. Hey my pleasure been out on the bay my whole life so you get to know her ebbs and flows as they say. Glad I was able to help with your questions. Have a great summer out there and all the best Cheers!
It sure was did not see that coming that's for sure! yes happy that they were all ok and we got them looked after for sure. Ya crazy as I was not going to go look back over there so happy I did. Cheers!
Cheers really appreciate that! Hey you know have to do anything you can to help out. Yes been enjoying your videos as well great stuff have to get out that way soon need to join you guys for a ride!
Oh I will for sure. The one I would like to do is ride out to is Main Duck Island want to really see that place. Will keep in touch and keep up the great videos!
@@MarkForrestAdventures I would for sure do Main Duck Island with you. I’m sure I could round up a few folks to go with. I nearly did trip last month when Lake Ontario was glass. Kicking myself for not doing it
As a paddler and a sea-doo'r those guys were F'd had they not had your help (or someone else's). I have rescued paddlers and others and sea-doo's are very effective at moving quickly and providing aid - a boat would have taken 4x as long and may not have gotten the gear right to where it was needed. Well done Mark. A reminder that always wear your life jacket too.
Right that is what I was thinking if I was not there then they would have been in big trouble as there was no one else around they would have had to call in rescue. Ah that’s great that you have stepped up and saved people as well that is what we need to do one the water be there for each other. You are right a boat would have had a very hard time as well with the movement of the water and amount of gear that was dumped. Exactly always have to have a life jacket on for sure. Thanks again cheers!
I'm going to echo this. I'm an avid paddler as well... these guys were definitely in a pickle. It would have been quite a lot of work to recover from this. I've done many such rescues whitewater paddling, the Sea-Doo definitely makes it faster! lol I happened to save a man last year at Lake Mazinaw who was close to drowning. He was onshore to paramedics very quickly thanks to this machine. :)
Ah thank you so much! yes thinking back on it they would have for sure needed to call in a rescue as there was no way they would have been able to catch all that gear before it went out into the bay. Yes being on the seadoo sure did help for sure. Oh wow that is crazy great to hear you were able to help them out. Really that is what it is all about when on the water being there to help each other out no matter what. Great to hear all that cheers!
💟 Great video Mark, love watching you fly so free on the water. I'm from the Georgian Bay area so this brings back great memories for me. Good thing you decided to take another look before you headed back! That was quite a shock to see those canoes flipped and all of their gear in the water, Nice save Mark! Thankyou and i most definitely subscribed 😊 Stay safe 💙
Ah thank you so much! there is nothing better that than the peace out riding the water for sure! I am happy that it brings back great memories for you. Yes I don't know what would have happened to them if I did not go take a look. Oh it was for me as well at first I thought it was just one but then to keep seeing more was concerning for sure. Thank you so much and tank you for joining the channel I really do appreciate it. All the best Cheers!
Looks very similar to me. I wonder where you are. I grew up with a boating fishing family and they took me everywhere around Gorgian Bay. I recall many trips to riverways where we camped and fished.
they must have been inexperienced flipping on the still water like that. I know it can be tricky with gear, but the conditions could not have been more favourable for canoeing.
Oh they were all just high school kids on a outdoor trip. But what you don't really see in this video is the rapid they came down. The inexperience was missing the portage and then going down the wrong shoot. They were going to flip no matter what. The one they wanted was to the left and then went down the wrong one! only good thing is there was this flat water area to catch them or all their stuff would have been gone and in way bigger trouble. Just goes not matter what mother nature will always win. Thanks for checking out the video and for reaching out Cheers!
Curious as to when u were on the bad. I'm on the upper French and the water level has been at summer time low at least for two weeks. So the outflow to Georgian Bay I would think wouldn't be that bad.
This was from the first week in June. So the flow was still up but the bay level was low so just made it quite fast and they were just a school group so were not really prepared I think. But even I was not confident trying them that early in the spring with no one around. But happy it all worked out. All the best cheers!
Whew! Now that's an adventurous day! You've got good timing. And your channel is underrated. I'd wager you would bring in quite a few viewers if you made some shorts with gripping titles, with link to the full video. like "saving capsized canoes" Or "Emergency canoe rescue" "Danger for stranded Canoe group" "Canoe Crisis" Pretty sure the RUclips algorithm promotes key words like that because people always pay attention to crisis. Anyway, Solid rescue efforts on your part!
It sure was a day for the books! Yes that was crazy that I just went back to look at that rapid and saw them. Ah thank you for saying that I really do appreciate it. That is a great idea about the shorts and the titles. Yes trying to fig out how RUclips works is always fun lol Thanks again for the kind words all the best cheers!
@@MarkForrestAdventures Your maps at the end really help to plan new trips in unfamiliar areas.. Nice saving btw. That's something you can't really script.. when I saw two kayaks flipped over I was sure something bad happened there.. Great video anyway!!
Brother, You are a hero!!!! You did not just save all the gear, you very well saved lives, being way out there.
Ah that’s to kind. I was just so happy that I was out there and went back to look at those rapids or else yes it would not have been good for them for sure. So happy it all worked out in the end. All the best cheers
Great job rescuing those kids! Another fantastic video too.
Ah thanks was just so happy I was able to help them out for sure! Cheers!
Amazing Save Mark ! wow your flexible !!! picking stuff so quick while on the seadoo !!
Ah thank you so much! ya I'm just happy I did not fall in LOL
Great job Mark! The world needs more people like yourself
Thanks so very much!That is nice of you to say, you just have to be ready to help when out on the water!
Mark, helping those people in a time of need really shows that you are a stand up gentleman! A lot of respect for you brother, and the good deed you have done will not go unnoticed karma will pay you back in a blessed way! Look forward to riding with you soon again stay safe.
Ah thank you so much that is very kind of you to say. Yes going to post the date soon for the parry sound ride so stay tuned. All the best Cheers!

Very nice of you! Would have expected nothing less.
Ah thanks! Yes when you are out that remote you have to do every thing you can to help people out so was so glad I was able to help.
Beautiful footage Mark and you sure really helped those kids out . Very kind of you to gather up all their equipment
Thank you when you are that remote you have to do all to can to help anyone in trouble so just happy all worked out and they were safe.
Wow Thanks for helping them. You are awesome ❤

Greatall were well and you could help out! BestRoy
Yes was happy they were all ok for sure! Cheers!
Looks very similar to me. I wonder where you are. I grew up with a boating fishing family and they took me everywhere around Gorgian Bay. I recall many trips to riverways where we camped and fished.
Yes this was on Georgian bay near the French River what a great place to explore
@@MarkForrestAdventures Wicked I'm kinda glad that I was right that I recognized the area.
You got it right! and such an amazing place to visit. Cheers!

Pretty sure that if you weren't there, they would be in the news for all the wrong reasons.
That’s what I was thinking as well so I was so happy that I was there to help them otherwise your right might not have been good.
