If you've been to the Geor-
gian Bay area in winter
, time, you may have_ seen
— • �`"scoots" . • They're speedy, be
noisy little craft that look
like a punt. and -have- small
--airplane eng'mesvn°tile"back.
They're the forerunners of
the snowmobile. But, unlike
snowmobiles, are amphib-
ious.' And they've been
around the Bay for over half
a century.
In mid-January, I was tak-
ing a coffee break at a truck
stop on the highway south of
Parry Sound, when Jim
McKinnon, a woodsman bud'.
dy of mine, pulled in: He was
on his way to pick up a scpot
that B. B. Robitaille had
made for him. '
B. B. Robitaille (nobody
seems to know his . first
name) is one of those few,
hardy camp keepers who.
live.year-round in . the .rug -
g y autifu1 20,000 Islands
area of Southern Georgian
Bay, ,The "keepers": take
care of the exclusive clubs
and big summer homes dur-
• ing the winter.
I mentioned to Jim that al-
though I'd been on just about
every other kind of boat and
sled, I'd never had a ride on
-a scoot. •
An hour later, we were at a
, dock on Twelve Mile Lake
where Jim's partner, Bob
Garratt, was waiting: with a
scoot to take us over to the
Tadanac Club where B. B.
looks after things.
Bob has his scoot going: It
was a modern version with a
hull of fibreglass. But the
regular rebuilt small air-
plane engine.
We took off over the ice,
shouting to one another
above the roar of the engine.
I saw a patch of open water
in the distance. As we ap-
proached . it, Bob slowed
down. We hit the water and
the scoot made the switch
easily. Thirty seconds later
we were up again, skimming
over' the ice.
When we arrived at the
Tadanac Club, Joe Reynolds
was there. He's the keeper at
Iron City, a nearby club that
sportsmen from Pittsburg
frequent in the summer.
He'd come over to visit B. B.
Robitaille. Predictably, he
came in his scoot.
I discovered that camp
keepers . swear by their
scoots. They're the only ma-
chines they trust in that part
of Georgian Bay. And I can
see why. Even in the dead of
winter there are open patch-
es of water due to the cur-
rents caused by the howling
northwest winds.
I suggested that the origin-
al notion for the scoot might
have come from the type of
craft used in the Florida
Everglades.
On the contrary. Apparent-
ly, the Florida people got the
idea from the camp keepers
of Georgian Bay many years
ago.
