Robert wrote: <snip Greenland paddle stuff> If added, what are some of the better methods to park your paddle on the front deck? Woody, et al: A really good paddle park can be made from wooden beads (or more expensive plastic ones). If your kayak has deck fittings near the front hatch, you can run a bungy line from one side to the other. If you run that short piece of bungy line (front deck near hatch must be about 8 inches?) through a couple of beads, it is very easy to reach forward and slip the distal end of your "stick" under the bungy for a park. The end closest to you will have to be secured in a fasion you see fit for your deck. If anyone wants a artist rendition, I can have a friend scan it to send electronically. (PS Woody, I have not forgot about your question regarding "corner winds". They are winds that accelerate due to friction effects around a headland or such. I am doing a huge posting on this for PW, and will hit "send" once completed).
