I've got a video on taking small children canoe camping, I'll have to get the info from home. It's got a bunch of good tips on things to do. Take stones, take a stick with a string and "fish" on the line for them to drag... There's also a good faq written a while back by Kate Gregory http://www.gregcons.com/canoe/kidpaddle.htm Be sure to try the child with pfd in the water. I've read at least one post where someone found their child floated feet up when put into the water with their pfd on! With our first son we had to modify his PFD so he could sit in the canoe without having the pfd ride up around his neck (yes we did float test the modified pfd with him in it). kirk *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
