I understand that cottonmouths will get right in the boat with you.

If they drop out of a tree they will. I think a lot of black racers

Very true in both instances. Once in a canoe, I scraped up against a
downed cypress tree and there was a cottonmouth on it that came VERY
close to slithering in the boat with me.
