Subject: confused confusion

Mark,
         Confusion about watercraft is fairly common and especially severe when one paddles perched high above the water surface. It is a well known fact that sitting on or near the floor of the boat promotes a balanced joining of the paddler with boat. In this balanced position the energy flow from the water to the paddler is strong and uninterrupted. This enhanced energy state allows the kayak paddler to experience an almost perfect or nirvana-like state of mind. Confusion over why one would paddle perched on a lawn chair in kayak-shaped deck-less boat dissolves.........
         I hope that helps your canoe confusion...
                 Love, D
