I thought I’d go over a few tips for when you take out your brand new inflatable canoe or inflatable kayak. Most of what follows is common sense, though I feel its worth putting down anyways!
- Beginners ought to have a shorter trip.
- Beginners should not bring young children their very first time out there.
- No Sandals! Good old athletic shoes or true water sandals only should be worn.
- Pack a dry change of clothes.(leave in vehicle, change whenever you go back)
- Bring along a thirst quenching beverage (i.e. drinking water, iced tea, lemonade) inside a non-breakable bottle. Alcohol shouldn’t be taken on the river.
- Take foodstuff and clothes in a leak-proof container tied to your inflatable canoe.
- Allow sufficient time for swimming, picnicking, resting.
- Stay off private property.
- Appreciate fisherman and don’t cross their lines.
- Secure belongings in car.
- Put on your life jacket at all times.
- Do not overload your canoe.
- Do not stand up in your canoe.
- Dress for the water temperature and be prepared to get soaked.
Most importantly, don’t forget to have FUN!
