I have a 17ft cruiser canoe i have had it on the local creek, the Detroit river & almost tipped it soloing on Huron. I am trying to easy the family into it, my daughter loved kayaking on Huron

I’m not a fan of canoes myself. I’ve had this fear of flipping and one year a friend and I were splashing each other with the paddles trying to get the attention of guys on shore.. well we certainly got the attention as we flipped the canoe, the fire department was called and I was stuck swimming back with her canoe. It was a fibreglass canoe with a hole in a seat that took on water too.
I don’t feel that way in a kayak though.
That’s great that your daughter likes to join you with the kayak. I’d look into the Wilderness Systems Pungo 125 for the famjam. It’s the kayak I have and it’s very stable. Previously I had tried a sea kayak which is narrower and not as stable but meant for speed. I much enjoy my Pungo.
