I'll have to admit I'm a Greenland Paddle sissy. When I first started using my new paddle the lake water was warm. Now its cold and the I just don't like that stroke by stroke trickle of cold water running down the paddle to chill my fingers. I bought a pair of NRS gloves but it seems the model I chose has nothing to do with keeping the hands dry. So, after extensive experiments I rube goldberged the solution shown below. The little white strips are made from self-sticking weather seal tape. I'm sure I'm not inventing anything new or original, but it did keep my hands dry during today's paddle.

I suppose a good story teller could say those little white things are modeled after an ancient Eskimo drip ring made of Seal liver and polar bear saliva.
