Oh, in season I have a first cup, paddle something, a tandem, a solo or an SUP board around Eagle Island then enjoy a second cup with breakfast on terra firma. Elimination is easy in a canoe. Angle the blade downward across the rail, an old Rbt Harrison technique. That was compromised when Cliff came up with scooping a drink out of the lake with his paddle blade. Never before did we need to be able to determine backface and powerface with such positive accuracy; all leading to the development of the bent paddle for health and sanitation reasons! SUP board eliminate even easier due to solid top and sloped sides, but strangely, we retain the bent paddle, perhaps for tradition?
But, we are out of season; the top 24 inches of Lower Saranac being quite hard, so I have both cups, the second with breakfast, then go ski instead. I do not tote a paddle along as a human element range extender.
