Spent lots of time out thru the years and youre absolutely nuts for going out there in a canoe. A light on shore can turn half foot waves out on the lake into 3 footers once it hits the current. Ive had multiple close calls out there in deep aluminums. If youre cray to do it again, at least put the canoe in at the end o liverpool so you dont have to venture far.
And yeah, clear water is almost always the kiss of death if youre not out for first light. Time to bust out the planer boards
