Good advice by Bob on all points except for water storage in tent:





Do not keep your water in tent even at night.  Some friends last winter had


a racoon tear up their tent at Pavilion Key looking for the water jug they


stored in their tent.  Safest place to store food or water is inside kayak


hatches. 





I should have made myself point a little clearer. I've done the glades in
canoe and kayaks. With kayaks I store my water in the kayak, but in a canoe I
have no choice but to store it in the tent, and hope the racoons stay out. So
far I have been lucky, but I have heard a few other getting robbed.
