Sam and Andrew are taking the "Learn to Row" class at the Detroit Boat Club on Belle Isle in Detroit, about 15 minutes from our house.
This is the first day of 3 weeks of class. After orientation and some work on the ergometer, they went out for a quick spin on the barge - wide, stable craft for beginners.
They loved it, and look forward to more. Makes this old oarsman (Orchard Lake St. Mary's, University of Pennsyvlania, Vesper Boat Club and Penn AC) glad. And yes, being around it for the day is giving me the itch......
