With Christmas over and my mind turning more and more to trips outside the

carrying ? Tow line perhaps ?

Tow and throw bags lines make wonderful gifts for your paddling
buddies. Try to be sure that they all have one.

When you get to the point that you can paddle home into a headwind
dragging 250# behind you, starting hinting for yourself.
