While clearing a trail to our community dock, I moved an old aluminum canoe. Finding it to be intact, I got a paddle and life jacket and put her in the water. After a few minutes of paddling near shore I noticed a trickle coming from the bow. Good sense caused me to reverse course and return to dock. On shore I found a screw that wasn't an original that I figured was the source of the leak. A little sealant should render her sea worthy.
