: Greg,

: I really enjoyed reading that article. I kept reading excerpts of it to my
: wife as we were travelling around visiting relatives. I've had an interest
: in Greenland kayaks, paddles and techniques since I started paddling.
: Eventually I'll build a real Greenland kayak, but for now my skinny Walrus
: will have to do. I've been experimenting with various Aleut and Greenland
: paddles. In the pic below I'm trying out my latest Greenland paddle in the
: skinny Walrus.

Thanks Mike. But I hope that your wife wasn't driving when you were reading the excerpts from the article. I'd hate to be the cause of someone falling asleep at the wheel...

I've been reading your construction details on the building list. The new kayak looks great. From your photo it looks like you are using the forward tilting paddle blade technique. That technique is quite popular in Greenland and is also what I prefer.

Seasons Greetings,

Greg Stamer
