This raises interesting questions as to why one paddles, how much tech
one might
want to haul along, and to what degree one is willing to be dependent
upon such
tech."

I read somewhere that the Vikings had an ambivelant relationship with
their Gods and that carved images of the Gods which they carried around
in their boats were likely to be chucked overboard when things weren't
going well.
