We have since moved up to a Wilderness Systems Echo (tandem), and I just bought a Sirius S for her first single. She was not a happy camper, but I was convinced that her skills would never reach their full potential until she got in a boat by herself. (We do most of our paddling on large Duke Power lakes in North Carolina and on the intercoastal waterway). She has now spent about 6 hours in her new boat and absolutely loves it. We plan on paddling all three days this weekend. I know when we paddle the tandem again it will be even more fun than it was before she got the Sirius. Even though we were having a great time paddling the Echo, gaining additional experience for each of us paddling solo will only enhance our tandem paddling trips. My solo boat is an Anadyr.
