NCAA Rowing?

Where the hell do they row in the middle of Kansas?

First, Lawrence, Kansas is not in the middle of Kansas. It is in
northeastern Kansas.

Second, the Kaw River in the Lawrence area accommodates all manner of
small boats and at higher water levels, is interestingly navigable.
It's also well-known for orgiastic sandbar parties.

Third, there's a lake a little west of Lawrence that quite suitable
for crew. Probably larger than the lakes on which you run your
overpowered bass boats.



Did you ever get waked by a guy in a Bayliner with plastic jerry cans
strapped to the gunnels?

Alas, my time in Kansas itself was pretty much boatless *except* for a
few times the father of a girl I was dating took us out on a lake near
their home in Topeka. I'm not sure there *were* Bayliners in those days.

Now, when I moved to KCMO to work at The Star, one of the city editors
had a place at the Lake of the Ozarks in Missouri, and he had a
beautiful wood Century powerboat. He held lots of parties in the summer,
just about every other weekend, and I went to a few.
