>From Ralph, >A canoe puts you too high up, even if kneeling, for effective paddling against wind. I have been in a situation with me in a K-Light alongside AMC canoe instructor/leaders in their canoes while paddling into 20 knot winds. They were stymied while I just doddled or paddled leisurely circles around them in order to stay back with them. i agree. been there/done that. windy. me going nowhere in solo canoe. friend going easily in kayak... i bought a kayak shorly thereafter...but for fun, i still like to paddle the canoe in moderate wind. >Am I the only paddler who tethers his hat? no. mine is also tied to my head. i'm trolling to see what hats folks like to use when it's windy... i don't like lines around my head, so i think that stocking style hats are a better choice...they are easier to store in a bag too. *************************************************************************** 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 Mar 10 1999 - 15:30:27 PST
