It wasn't meant to be a war canoe (with 4 paddlers) but it turned into one... (we have a theory that almost all war canoes, at some point, sink)
The canoe is one of the most stable crafts ever put on water. BUT. You have to be careful how you load it, and how you move about in it! (Nancy found this out the hard way, when her 70 lb. poodle, Holly, disembarked one day after a beaver, in deep water!)
One of our guests, Dave, knew all that, as he set out from the shore with new friends, but someone forgot to mention it to the two smallest paddlers in the middle of the canoe.
It all took place in shallow water, and pride was the only casualty. The second sortie was successful!
Each of our cottages has it's own canoe, so there's always plenty of canoe action on the beach. This was just more action than the paddlers had in mind!
