>>424232>>421485this and this. either way, i hate canoeing with people who have no concept of or interest in the idea of maneuvering the canoe with their paddling. some people just seem to dig in with the paddle on only one side without ever stopping or changing cadence, or they just kind of paddle at their leisure either or both sides, completely at random with no purpose or awareness of what their paddling is doing to our canoes direction or speed.
canoe trips have been the best of times and the worst of times. im going to buy a kayak or a one person canoe so i can do this again but actually enjoy it
