your 16 footer sounds nice. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

I always got wet using a kayak paddle in a canoe, but I can no longer kneel the way I used to since breaking my knee 12 years ago. I think maybe a new sit down seat and a kayak paddle could work for me, but I am a classical canoeist and the kayak paddle is just wrong. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

I paddled an 18 foot aluminum grooman out onto Lac Laronge in Canada alone with all my gear in it. Very strong winds meant no swapping sides with the paddle. A kayak paddle would not have worked.
