Very good point!

We use canoes to gain access to an aria no one hunts. It's an Island and hillside. Floating downstream in the dark is dangerous. A friend of mine dumped his canoe one morning because he wasn't using a light and was also hugging the outside bank. One downed tree and he was wide awake, wet, cold and without a few items he originally had.(Murphy’s law follows this kid everywhere)

Might I suggest you get a good head lamp so you don’t have such misshaps.

I'll second the wide bottom. I like the looks of the canoe Frank posted!

Rack, Such and elitist!

I can row a boat! Canoe?
