Re: [Paddlewise] Group Crossing Procedures

Duane  & Paddlewisers
As part of your group crossing procedure have you tried having the group
paddle in a diamond formation(s) instead of single file.  The diamond
formation has the advantage of keeping the group together and thus more
visible to traffic, providing  a smaller "target", quicker provision of aid
in the event of a problem, little need to check frequently for laggards,
easier communication, etc.
