Re: [Paddlewise] Paddling in doubles

I would like to point out the photo in the current Canoe & Kayak that
accompanied a small piece I wrote.  It is of a couple (I know the woman from
kayaking) who surprised their wedding guests at the end of the marriage
ceremony when they jumped into a canoe they had secretly built and in their
wedding garb paddled off.  From what I know of her personality, and by
extension his, they will be paddling it for the next 50 years.  Doubles are
a lithmus test of some sort of something about individuals.  Perfectly good
people pass it and perfectly good people don't.  I have no idea why this is
so.
