Hey-la! On that beautiful lake (lucky you!)you could well afford to anticipate the squaring of the blade earlier in the recovery. This would avoid you losing all that water and stopping the boat at the catch (your legs are halfway done before the blades are properly immersed!)

I agree with both of the comments, it's just what I wanted to say! Rowers understand each other ;)

also because you're used to flat water there's no tap down at the finish. It's not a problem on water like that but you need to tap down more if you gon on rougher water

very true... that would make her way more efficient and utilize all the energy in the legs and drive.
