Your assumption is necessary for your answer, but you are wrong about this implying the use of an unfeathered paddle. :-) If you were using an unfeathered paddle you could set your paddle down on the deck with both blades slicing into the wind. With a feathered paddle, when you set your paddle on the deck in front of you at least one blade will be slowing you down.
