Donna & Marienne sit below the Washington Road bridge.  The black sign is supposed to say 'Bring It On!', but the Olympus WR105 camera (or the idiot taking the picture) did a poor job of capturing it.  Marienne is the one in the blue Perception Spectrum (the recreational boat), and Donna is in the yellow Artic Hawk (Greenland-style sea kayak).

Donna Nussenblatt, CJACK's (Central Jersey Area Canoe & Kayak) fearless leader, paddling north in front of the boat house.  She's using a wooden Greenland style paddle, and has another on her deck as a backup.  Greenland paddles are making a comeback, due to:
  • Suitability to touring, taking less resistence per stroke,
  • Easier Eskimo roll,
  • Low wind resistence,
  • Easy and more powerful sweep strokes,
  • Cheap to make the wood models.
Most Greenland users prefer wood, but a small minority of us prefer graphite (w. a foam or balsa core) for lightness and stiffness. 		Princeton University boat house (1280x827)
