db, you've got the right idea with the painter line. A PFD and a ditch kit are good, but a way home is even better. Do you just tie it to your ankle or something?

I'll tie it to my ankle or wrap around my waist depending on my mood. I fell out once and had to chase it a bit.... Canoes could surely go b-bye pretty quickly in certain conditions and I need that thing. It's my ride man.
