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).
