The neighbors pool works great for patio furniture. Should be OK for a canoe too.

The only other thing that I would trust would be to chain BOTH ends down with thick steel chains tied around stout trees. Even then, I would imagine that a strong enough wind might destroy the canoe itself. At just the right angle, a canoe can look like a long, skinny parachute.
