Timely stroke tips indeed. Seems like I'd heard the chicken wing "soubriquet" before, but this time it took. Along with silent slips of the paddle exiting the water. Cut about 10 minutes off my usual 70-75 minute evening paddle up & down the beach, made it back before sunset. A few new muscle twinges, perhaps appreciative of an intended use instead of the usual complaints from those overworked with unintended use. So thanks! Chicken wings are hot!
