Thanks for the tips Sid and Joan,

I think my biggest aversion is keeping the paddle on the front deck 
is I just don't like looking at it. I also don't like how water 
breaks and flows over the bow and deck when breaking through a wave. 
Call me petty, but I'm an artist and aesthetics are high on my 
priority list. I like my vistas clear, other than a chart and 
compass, I keep almost everything either in kneetubes or on the back 
deck (usually just the throw bag).

Anyone else have some thoughts?
