Thank you everyone for your feedback. I really APPRECIATE IT! As I
canoe mainly on an open bay following the shoreline, I think I will try
the kayak paddle approach. I stopped down to a local kayak store
yesterday and tried out a kayak paddle with a canoe. It seemed to work
fine for me except that the 245cm paddle was a little short. I think a
slightly longer one would do the trick. Blakely-what size kayak paddle
is your Carlisle? As you are sitting in the stern which is narrower,
you are probably able to use a standard size kayak paddle? My problem
is that I am sitting in the midsection going solo, so that the paddle
was slightly short for the mid. Also, do you sit or kneel when using
your kayak paddle? Thank your for your "experiment".

The Carlisle feels huge. I brought it back with me and will measure it
tomorrow and post. I will post the mid/stern dimensions of the Wenonah

for comparison as well. (These might be on their web site too).
