Lincoln Woods with the Capella - August 16, 2022

I got out for my first trip in the Capella, and I think I made a good choice with this boat. It is stable, picks up speed fast, and is more maneuverable than the Perception that I paddled at the kayak class. I tried some edging, and it responded best when edged to the outside of the turn. With the skeg down it tracked straight as an arrow. I set the paddle at 210 cm with 0º feather, just like at the kayak class. The toughest thing about this boat is getting in and out (fell out twice - one getting in and once getting out), and I still need to practice wet exits.
