Duane,
Interesting report.  I have several various questions:

All three of you chose relatively small bladed paddles.  Do you believe that
this helps conserve energy on long endurance trips?  Do you normally use the
Little Dipper, or only for these long trips?  Was yours the old or new style
Little Dipper?

Did you rely on luck to avoid being run over in the shipping channel or do
you have some technique?

How did you keep awake on the long night crossing?  Any stimulants?

Jerry
