Nice site here. One more for the list. ccr is just another place on the list, each has its pros/cons.

All true Preacher but I do prefer broader discussion than what you get on OAC or solopaddling with the more intimate discussion, (exactly what some don’t like I know). This is the best of all worlds isn’t it – differences instead of the same makes them all good, not really in competition. This site is just beautiful though and I love the little added features, like the calender and the quick links to most manufacturers – outstanding.:D

I recently read to move (position yourself) forward of the center thwart when paddling into those strong head winds. The forward position forces the bow down and the stren up making it possible to control the canoe.

Absolutely. My 15′ canoe has a kneeling thwart which is a perfect position (just back of the centre) but in head winds I just turn around and lean back on the yoke, puts the nose down lower and makes a huge difference. I spin like a top without doing this in my light canoe or use all my energy to keep ‘er close to straight.
