Canoe unsuitable for so much water (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ocean

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'so much water' is the definition.
'ocean' can be an answer for 'water' (oceans are bodies of water). I am unsure of the 'so much' bit.

'canoe unsuitable' is the wordplay.
'unsuitable' indicates an anagram (letters not in suitable order).
'canoe' anagrammed gives 'OCEAN'.

'for' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for ocean that I've seen before include "Very large area of sea" , "eg Indian, Atlantic" , "A lot of water!" , "Indian, for example" , "Large body of salt water" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express and The Mirror.
