[Paddlewise] Kayaks and River Bars - the untold version

I've heard that river bars tend to attract women of questionable character
who'll wheedle free drinks out of you with false hopes of a great ride.
They'll take your money and leave you high and dry or even worse: with an
occasional case of fresh water crabs.

But seamen like to refer to "local knowledge" and the first thing I'm going
to tell you is that you should find out where the people who go to bars in
boats like yours hang out. Their
knowledge of that particular "piece" will be invaluable. They will know, for
instance, which to hug (or whether to stay in the middle); which to avoid
and other pertinent bits of information.
