We (Kent, myself, and Brian) are getting the hang of it…I think.  First an hour or so on a smooth, protected channel that’s maybe 5 foot deep at its deepest.  There were some fairly ungraceful moves in and out but no mishaps and no aches and pains.

Day two, wind waves and power boat chop made paddling a bit more challenging.   Tomorrow morning we will see what our shoulders have to say.  Paddling works a few otherwise underutilized muscles.
