Dave, the wife and I have been married almost 25 years and part of the 
reason is, we get along perfectly when in the old super, folding folbot. 
The reason "we" get along is, she doesn't paddle very well(worse that 
even I), and doesn't even like to paddle much. That leaves me to give her 
a free ride around(which she likes) and I don't have to match her paddle 
strokes or correct for where I think we should be heading(which I like). 
Anytime she gets a wild hair to paddle, I just kick back and let her, and 
take a break. :>)

After sitting behind a good friend for several hundred miles, on the 
Yukon river,  I can say with all honesty, that anyone that likes paddling 
solo more than two up, is VERY  sane!<G>

James
