I'm still deciding which paddle I want to but. Any comments out there on
Werner Paddles. I am looking at the Little Dipper or the Camano (sp?).


Maybe what I need is a caddy who paddles along with a bag full of paddles so I
can change paddles with changing conditions.


Come to think of it maybe I need another caddy to tow along different boats
for different sea conditions.


Better yet two caddys -one towing boats with rudders and the other boats
without rudders. 


Oops! I had better stop before I get carried away.

I've got a 'glass camano that I bought several years ago at LL Bean.

It's my least favorite paddle.  I don't like the finish on the shaft.  I
don't like the weight of the paddle.  I don't like the feel of the paddle
in the water.  

It does come with me though, it's my only take apart.

I have the Camano graphite and like it very much. But I don't have a lot
of experience with other paddles. 

The blades however are quite fragile; that's why I made the foam guards
for them. e
