| Q: Do canoes and kayaks tip easily? | |

| Q: If the canoe does tip over, do you come and get us? | |
| A: No. Float the canoe or kayak to the bank and slowly pull it out of the water on it's side. This will allow the water to drain out. You will then be able to get back in and continue paddling. | |

| A: No. Only cash and checks are accepted. |
