Curious about Wooden Canoes
Good morning all,
I was taught and have always been under the impression that when paddling a canoe alone you sat in the front seat facing the stern. However, in reading many of the threads here with pictures showing folks on the water paddling alone it appears that many sit/kneel in the middle of the canoe.
Is there a right or wrong way to paddle alone or is it just a matter of personal preference?
I assume this may also vary if your canoe is loaded with gear or if it is just you.
