I do that. I learned that after I dumped it twice at the boat ramp trying to get in. Probably my second or third time I paddled this boat.

We have a lot of places where it just isn't practical, no good place to brace the paddle on something solid. Like a quickly dropping bottom and just a small spot to put the bow between rocks, trees, whatever. I keep trying to just use the paddle on/in the water but I can't do that, YET. Going to spend some time next summer working on that. Improve my balance and move faster and it would work.

I do like the OC. Don't get me wrong. And I am a lot more comfortable with it than I was at first. But I also want to make a couple of boats for others to paddle and most people are scared of an OC.
