Don’t worry Wilson, I’ll do all the paddling. You just hang on.

What it means
Our interpretation.
The speaker reassures Wilson by taking responsibility for all the paddling and asking only that Wilson hang on. The promise divides the immediate tasks simply. Reassurance comes through an offer of effort, with one person supplying the movement and the other maintaining their hold.
