[Paddlewise] Fore and aft trim

We had a discussion on Paddlewise here a while back about loading a boat
slightly heavier in one end or the other to help control in fore or aft
seas, but I wasn't paying a lot of attention and can't find it, now.

Just thinking about it, I would think that you would want to be loaded
slightly heavier than normal toward the forward end if you anticipate
heading into wind or waves, and slightly heavier aft if you anticipate
following winds or seas.

Did I get that right, or have I got it backwards?
