Just paddling, no talking. View from the canoe. And a view of the return slice of the "Canadian stroke", which extends the J and links the corrective force with the return of the paddle forward for the next stroke. The paddle blade shape chosen for this stroke should be relatively thin and streamlined, with a smooth convex on both sides and a sharp edge, to reduce flutter and splash.
This is part 14 of my 24 day solo canoe trip in Woodland Caribou Provincial Park, in August 2014. I plan a few more videos in this trip series. Thanks for watching!
