[Avodah] parshas Noach question

[M Cohen]

someone asked me the following very simple question - and I don't have an
answer for them.

1. Rashi says that the first thing that Noach did after leaving the ark was
to plant the vineyard
2. Rashi says that as a result of the drinking and actions of cham, he
cursed cham's 4th son k'naan
3. even though k'naan had relations in the ark, lo shamanu that he had
children there.  The yotzei hatevah were only Noach and sons and wives.
(although I did find some that say that k'naan was actually the first son,
and was born as they left the ark)

question - where did k'naan come from?

it would appear that we are incorrect in assuming that the planting/etc
occurred shortly after leaving the ark

(and yet its difficult to say that Noah sat around for several yrs doing
nothing, and then finally when he decided to plant incorrectly planted a
vineyard first)


if you have seen anything on this, pls let me know where to look

thanks,
Mordechai Cohen
