An experienced rower wanted to solo paddle from Sweden to Finland during winter. He had a single-seater plastic boat. Because of the frigid temperature, he brought along a battery powered space heater. Halfway across the battery caught fire and melted a hole through the watercraft.
He was rescued, but it confirmed that you can't have your kayak and heat it too.
