Your title is "Canoist  <--- how do you spell the REAL word? I'm sure
that's wrong."

My Collin's English dictionary says it's "canoeist"

Your drawing is brilliant, but your canoe looks a bit like a rubber raft
and there isn't quite enough distinction between the water and the
banks. How about this? (I'm presuming your canoeist is trying to paddle
upriver)

                         # # .,,...  __-- -  _

or this?
