Windy paddling. Good workout. A couple weeks ago I was paddling on the Mississippi in some strong wind. The area I often paddling in is downwind from some high bluffs, often makes for some strong gusts. Anyway, on this particular day, the wind was blowing so that I was going downstream with waves standing between 1/2' and 1' high going back upstream. Made for some interesting paddling. Had to keep a *really* low paddle stroke as well as a low profile. I kept thinking I need to get one of those little storm paddles. Going back upstream, I actually caught some nice rides. -Patrick *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - All postings copyright the author and not to be reproduced outside PaddleWise without author's permission Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.paddlewise.net/ ***************************************************************************Received on Mon Mar 20 2000 - 19:50:11 PST
