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.
