Ask Dr. Shuttle 

• by Mark Brenneman

Mark takes a humorous look at the fine art of setting shuttle. This article appeared in the Canoe Cruisers Association’s newsletter, Cruiser, in the September-October 2022 issue.

When asked how long we should wait for an arriving person at the put-in, Dr. Shuttle begins, “I assume you are talking about [insert name of habitual late arriver]. It of course depends. If it is your spouse or partner, I recommend waiting as long as possible.”
