[Paddlewise] Greenland Paddle Angles

I too am much mystified by this angle.  From what I have read, it seems that
the paddle will be dragged back through the water at an angle, not at 90
degrees to the boat?  This would make the stroke similar to the pitch stroke
used in open canoes with single paddles.

Is this what happens?

Rob.
