Hi, Thanks to all who gave advice. Clearly a sail rig is the way to go. I will, however, try the umbrella option on a forthcoming expedition up the west shore of Lake Malawi (Mozambique). Paddling a plastic double so my paddling partner (wife) can have the dubious pleasure of holding the umbrella, should we get some favourable winds. Will report back at the end of May. cheers and thanks Paul *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
