paddles at around 5 knots, would you believe?<

5-knots sound sustainable given the right genetics. I believe Paul Caffynn
could maintain that pace. Funny thing is both Paul and Chris aren't muscular
guys one would normally associate this type of athleticism with. Guess they
both have an abundance of slow-twitch muscle fibre. They must also have an
abundance of mental stamina too. I think that goes beyond genetics,
something Mike D. left out in his reply.
