I'm not a died in the wool canoeist like you are, but I put a motor on mine and did not have wind problems.

This was the smaller of the two that crawled out of the lake & past my dad's cabin the past few springs. Not seen from the canoe but it...

Oooops. Sorry. The turtle. No, he did not catch it but instead quickly exited the water. I've got some incredible photos of these beasts...
