Late start but good day on the lake. Kathleen asks the yacht owners about their length - it's 40 ft. Not seen it off their dock yet. We had good long runs. I am just going to have to figure out proper breathing timing. Kathleen long swims at the YMCA have her better conditioned than I.
Kathleen ended up wearing socks and putting a small thin towel around an oar to help with her blisters. Until we get some direct instruction, we'll have to review videos on YouTube. This is the best one I've found so far. I wish there was one with a top or front view to demonstrate elbow and wrist movement too. I'm going to encourage her to call the guy we bought the boat from. The Catawba Yacht Club rowing weekend isn't for a month yet.
One more thing: Kathleen is really nervous about falling into the water. She's rather skittish when jet ski's or boats are around. What she's really worried about is snakes. It doesn't help that a small protruding bit of land in the middle of the lake is called Snake Island. Thanks a lot, folks.
