Nanda,

Likewise, with my pink sail, folks at campsites all over any given lake I sail have been entertained by me: 1) trying to stay afloat, and 2) attempting to get the danged boat to go in the general direction I'm headed in (seldom possible).

Oft times I simply punt & leave the asinine thing hanging in a tree at camp so I can find my way back in the evening.

Live & learn....

P.S.  Years ago I used a "rowing kit" with pontoons in the park, which I actually DID like except for the fact that I was always facing where I had been versus where I was going.  OK, so, admittedly, it didn't portage exceptionally well but, when I finally did manage to get it to water, I sure could generate some speed in that baby!  Too bad it wasn't pink.
