well here is a tip if you are an adventrous sort of bloke or maybe your son will become the adventrous sort with age and testosterone...a friend and i in a canadian poly 2 man canoe with 3 horse yammy attached attempted the river next door.spur of the moment type thing as i had just bought an 1800 dollar digital slr and was looking for those speccy type photos............any way to cut a long story short went up this creek until yammy would no longer make headway......around 8 to 12 knots i imagine as the creek was in half flood,turned motor off and decided to paddle,within around 1 minute clipped a log and had to fight for survival in 8 deg waters,very very lucky a log did not grab either of us as it would of been game over without a doubt,bailed out in neck deep water with a gold pan,retrieved all gear as we went downstream,including 1800 camera which was rooted as they do not like water,yes i will do it again but am going to fit an outrigger first,maybe 6 inch poly or similar.........
