We had a little hometown regatta called the You outta regatta on the ERG. I set the event up and was pulling pretty good on the erg and had been a pretty good canoe paddler, so one of the local rowers said come out and try it in the boat. Technique is everything in the boat. After swimming around for about an hour I could almost get down the course dry.
I had years experience in the high kneel canoes, and olympic kayaks but man I never did figure out how to get them oars in the water without crab season in full swing. Thanks for the laugh. G
