Anyone else notice it is Friday? I practice paddling backwards frequently, especially when I'm just poking around shore or checking out a little inlet. It's also a nice change-up for muscles tired of doing the same old thing. My secret reason for practicing is because I'm sure that one of these days I'm going to quietly slide onto a beach and a bear will stick its head out of the underbrush yards away - then you'll see a back paddle sprint!<grin> It's Friday, the sun is shining in SE Alaska (hey - it's a BIG deal up here!!) and I'll be on the water in a few hours!
