In Response To: Re: WE LAUNCHED!! (Tom)

Thanks for the hint. It was a lot of things to learn at once. Think I was mostly trying to paddle independant of leaning the boat to steer, but the torque of the paddle stroke was noticable. These things really go, and it encourages you to pick up the stroke count and pressure.

Once I started to bear off, it tended to keep bearing until I started makeing evasive paddle strokes instead of just leaning to try and correct it. Would help greatly to have someone to paddle beside. I learn by watching mostly.
