I have to admit that my favorite paddling is tandem with my husband. I
do more solo paddling than tandem because he just isn't into paddling as
much as I am, but I really enjoy our canoeing together. We've been
paddling together for 25+ years, and we've got the "communication,
cooperation, ..." stuff down pat. With a long-standing tandem partner
you know what the other person is going to do without even thinking
about it. It can really be great fun.

Actually, come to think of it, in my experience it can go one step
further: when paddling my TopoDuo with Yakmom (Sheila Shapelle) in
Austria and Slovenia, I was pleasantly surprised by how well we managed
to paddle the boat together, even though I had never been in a tandem
boat with her before.

We both had several years of paddling with other tandem partners (in her
case, in a C2!), and it seemed that a lot of the moves and cooperation
where automatically working out very well. :-)
