: 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.

Yep, I'll agree with that, have had many people say they'd like to try a couple of my boats but are afraid of the cockpit.

We have a few places like that around here with the drop off so quick that it's hard to find a way out of the boat without help.
