Sometimes due to weather, accidents, confusion, or other adversity, canoeists in remote wilderness are unable to reach their prearranged pick-up point and pilots must search for them. Even red canoes can be difficult to spot from the air. As soon as you hear the plane, get out on the water. It is a lot easier to see a boat on the water. Also, if you have a camera with an electronic flash, aim it at the plane and shoot the flash every 10 seconds until you see the plane bank in.
Pontoons are very expensive, easily damaged, and difficult to repair.
