I don’t understand how you die in a canoe, even without a vest.
Are Kennedy’s incapable of swimming a short distance or made of stone?
On a different note, the crab from that bay are tiny, have no meat, and getting at what meat they have smears them with crab poo.
They are as useful as a Kennedy.
I wonder what the water temperature was, and if that could have been a factor. I was always told that no matter how good a swimmer you are, always use a personal flotation device. I was also told that if the boat capsizes, stay with the boat (most recreational boats float). It was a needless tragedy.
You don’t usually die in a canoe. The canoe takes you to the spot where you exit the canoe, then you drown if you can’t swim. You can’t swim if you bash your head on the canoe while you make an ungraceful exit.
