Dennis, it takes courage to get into a tandem canoe with one's spouse! They call them "divorce boats" because the uninitiated don't understand it takes correction strokes by the stern paddler to paddle in a straight line. So the couple usually take turns blaming each other as they zig zag down the river/lake.BuckeyeDennis wrote:

We did fine. I took the stern seat, and told my wife that she could paddle on whichever side she wanted, as long as she didn’t switch constantly. Later, I amended that to include “or switch just as we’re approaching rocks”. That left me with plenty of control for this particular river.
