Damn man, be careful out there ! And if you're gonna be where
there's a current consider a canoe instead of that pontoon
contraption.

....Kenny, all I gotta do is step into a canoe and it's like stepping on a
wet bar of soap...canoes are out. Actually, the fact that that pontoon boat
won't sink might have saved my keister, it allowed me to hang on until my
feet reached bottom. I don't think any canoe would have rolled 360 degrees
and come up dry. I will, however, order a new p/boat from Cabelas tonite,
one that is made for moving water, mine isn't but it has lasted me over 10
years now, mostly in moving water. But this was FAST moving water.
