Thanks Harold (and Steve!),

So if I'm doing the "touch your ear to the water exercise", would I expect
my paddle blade to be a bit under the surface of the water?

After reading your's and Steve's descriptions, I think I was trying to have
my hands too far out in front of me. Larry sent me a web site with pictures
of people bracing with a greenland, but they all seemed to be doing it with
the paddle extended (one hand on blade, one on the loom).

Thanks again, I may have more questions when I get back from practicing this
weekend 8^)
