Taking a PTO day to spend time with Kathleen. We are hoping to row three times this weekend. After last Sunday's row, I moved washers on her oarlocks. They came with five thick hard plastic washers underneath the oarlock. On her right side (port side of the shell), I moved four of them above the oarlock. I moved two on her left side. Hopefully, this will help her keep her hands lower on the drive. For me, I just moved two on my right side from below to above. I also ordered two pairs of shoes from H2Row last night. Don's prices look very reasonable and he says we'll just need to remove the heel pads and drill a single hole in each footpad to bolt in the shoes.
The weather was cooler and breezier than usual this morning. Very pleasant, but we'd rather be getting rain from Hurricane Fay. Kathleen did feel better with the adjustments. The wind did make the water choppy in the main open areas. We decided to stay in the head cove of the lake. Overall, it was a nice leisurely row as we got back into our rhythm.
Kathleen did like the washer changes. For me, for the first time in months, I banged my left thumb with my right oar handle several times. Oooouuuuch.
