Paddlewisers, My wife and I never have any problems getting along in our double. I actually prefer being the bow person, but she prefers that I steer (less responsibility for her), so I am in the stern. As a result, I am in charge and give the instructions, and she follows. Just like in life, we never argue. I will say that when we aren't kayaking, we make decisions together. I will also say that we started out canoeing together, so we learned early how to paddle together in the same boat. That bow seat in a double can be a wet ride. A buddy and I did a surf launch, and I just happend to make sure my buddy was in the bow seat. The surf was dumping and coming in too fast to time, so we went for it. I watched him get barried in a wave, and by the time the wave reached me in the stern seat, the boat was floating over it. I never laughed so hard.
