So I could believe that canoes are responsible for a

number of deaths, but not kayaks. My hunch is that most kayakers
wear
PFDs, but many canoe users are actually fishing and don't think
they are
at risk.

Although I often wear a PFD while kayaking, I have trouble
convincing my
wife to do so, because we almost always kayak in very protecting
fla****er, often only a few feet deep.

The only difference I see is canoes can carry a bigger cooler so
they
may drink more beer. PFD use is spotty for both craft on our
river.
The real scary thing is they seem to have no respect for power
boats
and assume they are not only seen but will be yielded right of
way.
When the power boat is a PWC things can get real dicey since most
PWC
drivers refuse to give anyone quarter. They assume they have no
wake.

You're supposed to squeeze your cooler in an innertube and tow it
behind your canoe or kayak. That way, the cool river water helps
keep your ice from wasting away and your beer from tasting like
Miller Lite.

I like Miller Lite. You like Corona. Beer drinkers make fun Corona.

Pacifico here... too many trips to Mexico! That and Guiness... too
many trips to Ireland!

I rarely drink, but if in MX or a Mexican restaurant it is Negro
Modelo. Dark beer is so much better.

I don't like Mexican dark beer. It just doesn't have the flavor of
Guiness.

Guiness is too dark and flavorful. Did not care for it when I traveled
to the English office and everyone went to the pub. Lots of good ales,
and stouts, but Guiness is not one my favorites. Best Stout I ever
drank was at the Haines Brewery in Haines, AK.

Did you have it warm (traditional) or chilled? I have been chastised
because I prefer it cooled a bit.

I drank it just like the pub served it.

Where was that?
