: [Paddlewise] Salt-water paddling in an open tandem canoe..question. > I'm sure this may sound silly to sea-kayakers, but.... > So.is salt water much different from fresh? > > I used to paddle around a good bit on the Florida panhandle in a royalex Explorer and had a blast. Of course the water was warm and dumping in the surf was part of the fun. There were no significant differences that I recognized. If you plan to fool around with breaking waves: Have a bailing bucket handy for when you get through the breakers and expect to dump on the way back in.
