Finally i can give up my quest to get rid of those little eddies near my
paddle.. they been driving me to distraction!

i have seen wing paddles that are spoon shaped, with a hook on the top
edge...
does that profile help maintain a laminar flow around the paddle and thus
reduce eddy production?

bye bye bliven
UFo's go to Panama City for bar-b-que.
