I still remember Dick P teaching us Apaches "gunnel-jumpin" in preparation for our Presque Isle canoe trip. We mastered bowman/sternmanship, and it was a good thing. Day we went out featured small craft warnings on the lake, bunch of guys seasick (on Erie???), surfin waves down the shoreline, we somehow made it, awesome trip.
