Thanks for all the compliments.
From up close you can see my inexperience but they do look better as I go along.
Moosehead is a great spot. This was a rare windless evening. She paddled with me for about 45 minutes, what a blast.
My daughter picked the color scheme, I had to prove I'm not artistic enough to paint it with Sea horses.
I'd take credit for her form but raelly just have had her paddling, like other kids I've worked with she intuitively finds what works. perhaps with more time I'll see if a paddler better than me can teach her. (one abortive attempt to teach my wife to ski has given me great respect for the danger of coaching family)

The only problem with the boat. It accelerates like a rocket. I say lets go that way and am swiftly in her wake

Thanks again for your wisdom over the years
