I just got back from my first week long expedition in the Puget Sound.  
After about five days of paddling, I began noticing some tingling in 
the finger tips on my right hand.  After the sixth day, my right hand 
was totally numb from the middle, ring and pinky fingers almost to my 
wrist.  This lasted for about half a day.  I was trying to be careful 
about not gripping the paddle too tightly, although I did have a couple 
of fairly long, windy crossings.  What was I doing wrong and what 
should I do differently next time?  Thanks for your advice.
