Great information. Very similar to how I learned to communicate with a group of new paddlers in a river raft.

Yes, you have to keep it simple or they’ll feel like they’re drinking from a fire hose. Plus they’re scared, it’s new, sometimes you’re telling them something and you look at their face and you know you sound like the teacher and Charlie Brown.

Lots of good tips on working with a novice bow paddler. Great stuff. I will be working on tandem video soon and the difference with an experienced bow. PS I love the 3 min format.

Thanks Ray, it means a lot coming from you. You’ve been doing some amazing trips. Can’t wait for the videos. “Do not go gently into that dark night, rage, rage against the dying of the light!”

Great and timely topic. Currently working on getting my partner and her daughter into canoeing. We're mostly on flat water though, so usually don't have to worry about noisy rapids, just other boaters.

I was Guiding a trip on a busy lake and almost had 2 of my canoes run over by a motor boat. The boat sat so high compared to the canoes, and the was going so fast that his line of sight was right over the canoeists heads. Me whaling on my life jacket whistle is the only thing he slowed down to and then thank God he saw the canoes and didn’t plow into them. Life jacket whistles are cheap and worth their weight in gold. Thanks for watching and stay safe out there.

When we canoe with friends and their spouses, we don't call it "canoeing", we call it "divorcing". Kidding aside, it is very hard to hear the bow paddler talking because their voices are projecting out of the front of the canoe and are unheard at the back of the boat. I encourage bow paddlers to turn their heads and project their voices to the rear.

Yes that does help. I can’t tell you how many couples I’ve separated when Guiding “for the good of the trip”.

I do we’ve been emailing back and forth. My buddy Harry Rock did a UK symposium on Poling with Ray. Harry and I taught poling at the Maine Canoe Symposium for decades. Love it.
