Rowing Single Sculling on the Water

Sometimes in the morning the water is clear, all is silent except the birds chirping in the background, and you push off the dock. This morning I was out single sculling. I opted to give up my seat on the quad to practice more individually. It has been a while so I'm rusty. I went out infrequently a long time ago in San Diego but then got busy and didn't keep up with it.

Its not as easy as it looks. First, these boats are tippy. Second, they require some fairly serious coordination. Third, if you fall off you should know how to get back on. While the team of rowers would come by and check on me everyone once in a while ultimately I was up to my own devices.

The good news is that I didn't get wet and I was sort of getting into it after an hour. Not perfect but at least I'm out on the water.

Anyway, some motivation below.....just by watching it I realized I was doing something incorrect.
