: Yep, that's the one. I remember having to really study out those
: pictures.

They were hard to discern or need to be clearer in some way? I'd be interested to know if I can inprove them.

: And while I'm at it, thanks to Sandy (kayakamf@gmail.com) for this
: excellent post.

Thanks for the thanks.

We were out paddling a day ago and maybe my partner will change over from those plastic things she uses, her first try with a GP despite me using them for years. She has always been very happy with 90 degrees of feather and I've never used (if possible) anything other than zero offset. I also remembered to take the GPS (recently acquired) to sea - did a few sprints which explained why I got back for lunch earlier than expected a few days before - paddling too fast... skinny kayak, skinny paddler, skinny paddle...
