I use a paddle leash attached to my kayak. Besides having it for the obvious reason of not losing my paddle in the event of a capsize, when I want to photograph a bird it is easier and quieter to just lay my paddle in the water and then pick up my camera. Setting my paddle on the boat invariable causes a noise that spooks the birds. I only paddle in flatwater conditions. This reminds me my old paddle leash is broke. I need to fix it or buy a new one before the northern paddling season starts. -Bob Matter Hammond, Indiana *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
