You think a canoe with a 3 hp outboard is sufficient for a trip from
Florida to Bimini, eh?

I think taking or even advising taking that sort of trip in a canoe is
foolish. Aside from all the other stuff that could happen, one sudden
wave breaking broadside and you are shark food.


Trip would take less than three hours.
