This might be old news to you guys but if you want to measure how far you have paddled and you don't have a gadget (GPS or whatever else there called) you can use the following site.
www.mapmyrun.com/routes/create/ My misses was laughing at me saying that it won't measure across water because it's called "mapmyrun" not "mapmypaddle" and you can't walk on water.
I had the last laugh.

Anyone know of any other tools for this?
