: Just some ideas. Was your paddle centered in your hands? Is your Right arm
: stronger than your left?

: I had been wondering why my kayak wanted to point upwind when the bow sticks
: out of the water more than the stern. Shawn pointed out that the wind also
: blows on the paddler. Now why didn't I think of that.

The swing to the left also occurred when I had stopped paddling so I don't think it is attributable to my different strenght in my arms. Also it didn't make a difference which way I faced in the wind.
