Thanks for sharing. Sometines it just won’t work between partners no matter what. On the water my goal is to have no goal, and curiously it made me have it all. It’s not about going at a specific place, so why put pressure on the other paddler anyway. I’m patient and in this way me and my female partner are 300 km close of New-founland, and we started from Montréal last year. A 2000 km trip on the Saint-Laurence river. It’s about loving the sea, not flashing on internet for doing some big expeditions.
You said it: Patience and respect and … being happy on the water.
Happy paddling René!
