Great job Chris! Pictures and comments tell the tale well. John

Chris - I had no idea you were taking photos - nice job! It's also reassuring to see that someone else had similar difficulties accepting that decades of paddling experience only seemed to get in the way of the vertical paddle shaft, 1/1000th-of-a-second stroke.... thanks to Paul for drilling it in. Now, time to practise!

Nice & funny! You should criticize Frank even more! Lester

I'm going to advise Frank that he sue for libel. In fact, his shaft is usually quite vertical and pictures do lie! Yes, the paddle shaft should be vertical, but as seen from the bow! The photo is taken from an ANGLE (where did I recently hear that term repeatedly drowning out the roar of the rapids?) and so Frank,s paddle shaft appears less vertical when it is extended forward. Erin is doing a stern pry to close the ANGLE while ferrying and so her shaft should be ANGLED (there's that word again) back toward the stern of the boat. Great article Chris and thanks to all for some good theatre. Our group provided Andrew and Beth with quite a bit of novel entertainment as well. It was just a little quieter. Jay

Right on, Chris. And funny too. Bill.
