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
