What can be lovelier than the
sight of an oarsman (or woman) steadily rowing a sturdy and
elegant rowboat in the sunrise or sunset? Or at any time of day, come
to that! A practised individual makes the task seem effortless and,
like bicycling, rowing is a skill which comes back quite quickly, once
mastered.
As a means of transport on rivers and lakes it is ideal - non-pollutant,
quiet and affording excellent exercise for the whole body. In good
weather, one can easily transport food and drink for two and take off
for a quiet picnic in an unspoiled spot, enjoying the views on the way.
If this sounds like you - we'd love to hear about you, your boat and the
enjoyment you get from using it. Equally, if you make your living by
fishing from a rowboat or ferrying others to and fro, we'd love to hear
your story. Any pictures will be welcomed too.
We're interested in all kinds of
rowboat, the traditional and the ultramodern - tell us all about yours!
Of course there's always the chance of a
capsize...if you have any funny, or tragic, stories to tell, this is the
place to tell them...don't worry about your talents as an author - we
can always edit if necessary.
