Slight problem for me as canoes are very hard to roll & very hard to
reenter without help, especially the skinny light weight ones. So I rely
on staying right side up, especially when alone.  Should that fail, I'll
have to swim to shore towing the boat or use my backpack as a sponson
(oops, shouldn't say that word).
