Nice! It looks like it was a blustery day, overcast and windy. How do you like the bent paddles?

 

[erik markman]

Bent shafts don't really make much difference to me. They give a little more "push" but I could get by without them.

Looks like a fun time out on the water with your son.
Cool pics too.

So there is hope that the ice will go out here too Looks like some great wetlands there for exploration; all the better to have your son along.

Bent paddles are a must for canoe tripping in my mind... I can paddle all day and not get sore. For just messing around straight shafts are fine though.
