Pictures By Alan

I don't recall the context, but I rather like the picture. On the way down, I sat in the seat, and Evan perched on the bow. Experience showed that, in good stretches, we could both paddle as long as we were synchronized. Too much paddling destabilized the kayak, however. In windy or turbulent stretches, Evan provided a motor forward and I guided the boat, sometimes with paddling, but often by backpaddling, which slowed us down but at least kept us pointing the right way.
