I hear the Coho's are a little tippy.

nope, It's a funny thing how boats can feel so different to different people. In the rental fleet, plastic Coronas and Eclipses, I think of them both being pretty stable, but a beginner was all over the place in the Corona saying it was too tippy. I kept trying to get her to loosen her grip on the paddle and let the blade float on the surface,,no doing,,had to get her into a Dagger Baja. The other person that came out of the Baja said "no problem, it doesn't feel any different" Guess people have to paddle in the same water for a while to make the words have a common meaning.
Well, the jellyfish are starting to come out here, looks like you've got cooler water.
