Fireball inquired: > >anyone else paddlin a canoe anymore? Yes, I also paddle a canoe. I find something quite aesthetic about cruising to the tune of a single wooden blade. I get along quite nicely at ~~5 mph without really thinking about it too much. I paddle a Wenonah Advantage with a German Shepherd in the back. We approach and probably exceed the prescribed weight limit, but she won't fit in a kayak. I also paddle double blade. Where I live, the summer weather is fine, but too hot for a closed cockpit. I do enjoy the extra comfort and feeling of security in a kayak when the winter storms blow and "I just gotta get out!" I also take the kayak to the beach when I have the opportunity. degamo_at_mindspring.nospam.com *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.gasp-seakayak.net/paddlewise/ ***************************************************************************Received on Wed Sep 30 1998 - 16:23:55 PDT
