OT: Forget the ergs, who here gets out on the water?
The WaterRower vs. Concept2 thread got me thinking—who here gets out on the water, and if so, where and how? Do you have a single? Where do you store it? Do you belong to a club?
I hadn’t been in a boat in decades, and was cajoled into getting in an alumni eight at the HOSR. Needless to say that it was a lot more fun (and challenging) than rowing on an erg. It would be nice to get out on the water once in a while, but I wouldn’t be able to commit to regular morning workouts. Curious what others manage to do. |

I get on the water six days a week in the months of Sept., Oct., March, April, and most of May. Despite my outward appearance, it is what keeps me young.

i rowed in college also, but havent been in a proper boat in over a decade myself. the boats are just way too expensive and i'd have no place to keep it, but there is a local club that i pass by often and think about joining.... hmmm

I've got a Laser and and a pocket yacht called a Voyager, I have not sailed the Laser in a couple years though and really should just get rid of it. Anyone interested?
There are a few lakes in the area that I go to. So mostly lake sailing for me. |

I drive a launch that I use to follow my team around. I am a collegiate rowing coach. I ride my bicycle for fitness, but don't tell anyone I said that.

Does this count? Drift boats and white water are a fun combination.

Row? that must be an east coast thing.
Think SUP. |

Everybody in my family has rowed at one time or another. My mother still goes to the Masters' world championships most years where she races in the 80+ age bracket. She has been rowing for more than 70 years and still gets out 3 days a week in Victoria Canada. They have a very active seniors program at her club. She can still outrow people half her age.

As often as possible. It is great.

Not to the University of Washington, Berkeley, Wisconsin. Half the crews that row Henley and "The Boat Race" seem to come from there. There must be many rowers of all skill levels especially around Seattle and San Francisco, as well as Great Lakes. |

I don't presently live anywhere near my mother, but that last time she came for a visit we went for a tandem ride together.
