Bill,
Wear a flotation device (jacket). Canoes are not known to be stable like a Jon boat is...at least till you get used to it...


Well, the canoe turned out to be a Discovery 158 but we are happy with it. Here is a pic of my son Daniel and a little visitor from Singapore checking it out. First time in a canoe.
