Outdoors: Play it safe when temps plummet
A marina can be a desolate place when Arctic winds crank 30 knots. Though to keep things in perspective, we can take heart we don't live in North Dakota where in some parts temperatures plummeted to minus 52; yes, that's 52 degrees BELOW zero, if that's even possible.

Canoeing is a very gratifying water sport; and it takes some skill and knowledge of how to canoe safely. As with any type of water sports there are rules and regulations which may vary from state to state, and country to country. It is up to these governmental bodies to ensure that the water safety rules are not taken for granted.

It is common knowledge that for every person in a canoe, there should be one life vest or life jacket provided for them. These life saving devices should be worn and not used as cushions to sit on. Some areas require that the leader should have at least a whistle in case the canoe should turn over, or some other type of emergency should occur. The whistle can be heard much farther than someone screaming for help. There should be at least one extra paddle in the canoe just in case one should become lost.

It is a good idea to tell someone your designated route for the canoe outing, and if possible a suggested time of arrival, before you leave for your outing. It is not a good idea to go canoeing by yourself. You should always have someone with you at all times.

Beginning canoer's should seek some safety training of some kind before attempting to go into the water with a canoe. If there is no training available in your area, you should do research on the internet. The internet offers several websites which will tell you the safety regulations in your area. And some will even explain other things that a beginning canoer should know.

Knowing how to steer the canoe in safe water and in rough water as well, is very important. Canoes are very light and the wind can affect how the canoe will travel in the water. It is best not to plan a canoe outing during bad weather; however, bad weather can come up all of a sudden even on a beautiful day.

Paddling against the wind will not get you anywhere except for tired arms. If rough weather comes up suddenly it is best to paddle with the wind and try to maneuver your canoe to a safer spot to get to the ground. Once you reach some land you can pull your canoe onto the shore and if you find two or three trees close together you can take the tie rope and prop the canoe against the trees; high enough that you can stand under it safely with the canoe facing the down pouring rainfall. This will give you a little protection against the wind and the rain.

Don't take your safety for granted. Do all that you can; and study as much as you can about canoe safety, because more than likely it will save your life someday.
