I have done this before, but I was wondering if there was something I could read online perhaps that may refresh my memory. I'm actually gonna be using an inflatable raft with two oars. Thanks in advance.

The easiest thing to do is go on youtube.
See:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6uwflkbfp鈥?/a>
As you can see you sit with your back to the direction you want to go, and row. to move right or left to correct for current you just paddle on one side or the other not both. Paddle on the side opposite from the way you want to goQuestion about piloting/"driving" motorless boats (Canoes, Kayaks, etc.)?
That's "rowing" :-) at least in the youtube video
Canoes you face forward and use one paddle on alternate sides. Kayaks you face forward and use a two-bladed paddle. Slightly different techniques, e.g. in a kayak you can drop the paddle over your shoulder to use it as a rudder for quick turns.
A "raft" may not have rowlocks (places to pivot the oars) and might have paddles, not oars. (as in "whitewater rafting")Question about piloting/"driving" motorless boats (Canoes, Kayaks, etc.)?

Well if you've done it before you should know how!
It's as easy as falling off a kayak!
