Also remember to keep your registration on board and a throwable PFD(ring or seat cushion
with handles)--this is required. If you sail to Canada, have a passport or birth
certificate, they don't accept driver's licenses. I also heard they don't allow
porta-potties either!! We are just purchasing a P-19 ,"Miss Maggie" and are picking it
up this week-end in Clemson, SC. We plan our maiden voyage to be Sat. 4-22 on Lake
Lanier, GA, if the weather cooperates.
