When I was a teen, I’d go out in a canoe as soon as the edges started opening up in the spring. Not any more. Today, at my lake, people are already kayaking and canoeing but the water is still cold. If they tipped over, they’re in trouble since no one has put their motor boats out yet, (no one to rescue them), and they would get hypothermia within minutes. Now that I’m older, I tend to think this way.
Supposed to do that BEFORE you buy it. But then again you probably wouldn’t buy it if you did.
