[cool][#0000ff]You are back in the game. Those are all legitimate reasons...not just excuses. It's all the computer's fault anyway.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Glad you are enjoying your toons. The maneuverability is not surprising. Tubing and tooning is just like flying...subject to the three factors of lift, thrust and drag. The higher you sit in the water, with less below water to drag, the more thrust/power you will enjoy from each kick of your mighty legs. The only downer in the equation is that you are also more exposed to the prevailing breezes and have to work harder to make headway against the wind...or to keep position when it is blowing in from an angle.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Good luck on your planned river adventures. And keep those reports and (properly sized) pics coming.[/#0000ff]
