Another day on my own today. Same routine as yesterday (just row and concentrate on back position during the drive, early rolling to the catch position, adn trying to be quieter on the release) but a different route. I decided to go up a cove, near Kathleen's parents, that we had not visited yet.
On the way out, someone was waving at me from the shore and was trying to take pictures. I came back around closer and went across again to provide another opportunity. After turning and coming close to shore, we chatted. Melanie has a Moss Lake focused web site providing a forum for local information exchange: mosslake-nc.com. She is a big enthusiast and advocate for activities on the lake. Sounds like a potential ally if we try to arrange some kind of regatta. I told her about our getting started, how much we enjoyed rowing on the lake, and little bit about sculling. She might write about it on her site. I'll ask if I can post any of the photos she took here.
The row turned out to be quite long. In spite of having the maxim -"on an out-and-back trip, turnaround before you get tired," I kept at heading up that cove. It was worth it. I found a section where the water was glass calm and most of the lots were wooded - the most peaceful spot all morning. My timing was perfect; after I turning around and heading out of the cove, a power boat went tearing right up where I'd left.
