Lake Erie - This could ruin your day or even your life 

This was marked,however our winter storms on the south coast here can be a little unforgiving...I myself have marked this twice...BEWARE,BE SAFE!!!

Great of you to post the warning about the prop. Hopefully it gets a marking so people will avoid it.

...bronze prop? I'm surprised that no-one has liberated it off to the nearest scrapyard...

Holy cow. You don't realize how big that is until you showed the still water pictures and video. My dad has told me from the time I was a kid you never run more than five knots closer than a half mile to shore for this very reason. Where I am normally running is between Sandusky and Vermilion Ohio and there are tons of old piers sunken about 2 ft from the water surface along the shoreline. The majority of people don't even know they're there...

I'd be scrapping that chunk of bronze.

I marked that damn thing last year and im guessing winter cut the line and the orange mooring ball long gone. When I come thru the canal again next month i'll drop off another one unless someone could PLEASE 🙏 take care of it sooner !! Its a DEATH HAZARD folks

Why didn't you mark it with floaters, milk jugs work fine tied to a string & weight. When you came back to it????

I grew up in Cedar Bay and played on this wreck, Steel Priducts, as a teenager and snorkelers around UT with my grandson. As it was yearly cut up for scrap, it became clear that it was to become an even bigger navigational Hazzard!

Great heads-up on that prop. Hopefully for boaters in your area it will be visually marked. Hitting that would be a game changer. I've had to use my IDF about four times since 2021. Worked great every time, and I was on my way. Love the footage of the ships. Thanks for the share.

Thanks for that bit of info about the prop shaft. I jetski a lot from Cleveland and west to the islands. I am planning a trip to Crystal Beach this summer.. Thanks Nigel

one of the most interesting vids Ive seen in recent years. Great photography. Compliments

Up in the Valley we mark these obstacles with a white javex container.

If you went up to the bridge in port colbourne on the far left side of the canal there is an old tunnel that goes for about 100 yards under the street. Pretty cool.

Why don't they Mark that as a hazard to navigation???... Notify local Coast Guard station and tell them You're going to do IT😊... Good stuff thanks for posting...

I can't believe nobody has dropped a buoy there. Thanks for sharing! I'll have to lock in the coordinates if near there.

Went on Erie for the first time this season, had three batteries (including an optima blue top) all less than 4 years old and showing no signs of issue. Long story short my batteries died and had to be towed back in. Check your batteries close and make sure you have backup!

Thank you for alerting everyone to this pwoblem. You should have marked it so no one else had a pwoblem with this prop. And you should have alerted ODNR about this pwoblem so they could take appropriate measures to rectify this pwoblem.

Michigan Love 4 Lyfe! Michigan #1! Great Lakes Great Times!

Thanks for the warning about the Venus prop! We're planning to visit it this summer so we're glad to know about the prop shaft! Agree that it should be marked...

Did no one notice that on his nautical gps unit the display changed as he crossed into “dangerous waters”..whether you are captaining a personal water chart or the Queen Mary it is your responsibility to know what your vessel capabilities are…what the weather is and what safety gear you need…and the depth of the water you are in… and most importantly where you are on the Lake ..you cross that invisible line referred to as the US/Canada border without proper notice and you will not have a good day

I had no idea there was a shipwreck that close. I love all the ships. I gotta get back to Port Colborne soon, it's not like I live far away lol Have you been to Whiskey & Walleye at the marina? I went last year and loved it. I need to get back for a food review when the weather is warmer. Thanks for sharing!

Lake Erie Lake Monster

Submarine cable is a power line landing on the bottom the sign is th keep people from anchoring and getting hooked up on it

Sick ride! Id love to cruise around on one of those

Tell the police. They will know who to contact to put a warning flag up.

Saw Frontenac loading salt in Fairport May 7. She and Tadoussac are in frequently.

Ok good I look forward to the weekend adventures, only suggestion is if you go somewhere, please explain more about the boat ramp you will be using, as i like to plan out similar trips after seeing yours etc.

Do you get wet on that sea do? I really like the fishing one but I’m not a fan of getting soaking wet every time I go out. I fish Lake Erie on my 19 ft dep v but would love something easier to use by myself.

You must have a couple drywall screws holding that cap on

Coral Gables 🌴🇺🇸 We Summer in Vermilion and there is always logs and debri early Spring. Caution always. 🏄

"Submarine Cable": If you don't know, learn how to use your charts. It's a cable on the bottom, usually electric or data. Don't anchor near it.😊

that is an underwater Mixmaster of pure fender-bender death and chaos

Hey Nigel I seen you today with the jetski rescue, it was floating at crystal beach. Good you found the owner and they came and got it. Tough to get off the beach. Lol cheers mate

In Europa a string if yellow markers must be in place at any object on or below the water. Those markers are mapped too.

Points out a ship barely coming into frame and then proceeds to pan the camera to show his face front and center…smh. Brother, we here to see the ships.

Here is a good one for you. Check out mouse island. It is only about 200 meters from Catabuwa. You can launch from East Harbor State Park. Head west for a few minutes and you will see this small island. The President after Grant, Hayes owned it. They built two cabins in 1890’s. The fire places are still there. I saw an old photo of the Hayes family standing in the cabin in front of the fireplace. I took a selfie in the exact spot that the family was standing. Not only that but the island itself is beautiful. Really odd eroding. The ferry line is close to the island so every seven minutes or so the wake from the ferries hits the island. It makes this odd, artificial erosion pattern on the northwest shoreline.

That's like the Whale's Back in the north end of Green Bay on lake Michigan. It's between Cedar River and Washington Island.

you could do a story on what's going on in the sky above you?

There is nothing like getting out in a Great Lake for the first time of the year. I hit lake Ontario Wednesday, completely alone out there.

What happened to your friend's drone? Did a bird take it down?

Underwater hazards just beneath surface is a common danger for all boaters on all bodies of water. Tree stumps is a common one on lakes. Also sand bars and sudden shallow water where you don't expect it.😮

It'd make a great lawn ornament surprised someone hasnt snagged it.

What's it like to jetski around Long Point?

That’s a problem that should be Marked with a Hazard Buoy . How is it indicated on the Charts ?

Marking that prop with a bouy would be the right thing to do !

You should research Conneaut Ohio. Beautiful Lake front and you can actually ride a jet ski or small boat 2-3 miles up stream the conneaut creek from lake erie plus we have one the best bass fishing on the great lakes!

So why don’t you contact the cost guard and see if they can place a marker buoy by that obstacle

You returned several times and didn’t think to do what you’re suggesting lol mark it!

7:37 That would absolutely ruin someone's day.

Why doesn't the Coast Guard or local authorities just remove the dangerous prop?

in the lake where we live in ontario, there is a vw size rock just below the water in the middle of the bay that goes from 38 feet to less than 1 ft in seconds. i call it the "widow maker" and WE DO MARK IT every yr. we know where it is but fishermen don't and it is not on the charts. pretty stupid not to mark it.

So why didn’t you put a bottle on it then?

Nigel you drop a bottle line there at the prop

Why aren't these hazards being removed?

Water levels are quite low, but they’re still higher than normal bro are you OK?

can you volunteer to put a marker there.

Thanks I will slam into it on purpose now. Need some major insurance cash back from all the years paying them.

Why didn’t you mark it and report it? Geez!

I wouldn't think it would be such a big deal to have a Coast Guard bouy tender hoist that prop and shaft out of there. It's a navigation hazard.

I would of put something there on my own just saying or went to lake patrol or whoever they Have

Coastguard my friend, no exceptions. Needs to be marked. ❤

Why not post the last and long of the wreck so people can avoid it

They usually take scrap ship for demi over to India.

Why does no one salvage it. At least for safety sake?

Why has that not been removed?

I'm surprised you running around there so close to these ships... No Security vessel has intercepted you and wanted to know what the hell you're doing😂😂😂...

Are you telling me that they charge TWENTY BUCKS to launch a frickin JET SKI for a day's boating!!!???

500 like 👍

Yeah I'd mark that with a buoy .

Call the coast guard

Eerie.

Why doesn’t it get marked with a buoy ?

is it brass ? how come somebody hasn't savaged it

Wait, you have to pay to launch your boat? wtf?

Contact OPP Marine unit

So you ride around on a jetski and talk.... and a submerged hazard is the topic of a 19 minute video? If people need to watch this, they shouldn't be out on the water in the first place.

climate control in your skies by Geo -engineering looks great,if you ever noticed or not,great informative video

What a joke

Wow what a selfish person.

17° C, you monster, u know we dont know WHAT THAT MEANS. Lol im just goofy around, it looks like a gorgeous day on the lake.

Why on earth is that still sitting in the water anyway? Seems like something that should be removed from the water before someone dies from it 🤷‍♂️

If you care enough to make a video about it; Why not mark it with a bouy yourself? If that’s not feasable because of MNR law or whatever. It’s simple to petition any goverment agency for the sake of public safety. Trust me, they don’t muck around about public safety.
