I've seen a dredge do that...it's hilarious..looks like some kind of
metallix prehistoric monster paddling down the water...and BTW, real
women row also...if I put an outboard on the back of Dinghy from Hell
the front end would be perpendicular to the water! So I row. And my
granddaughter is on the crew team at school so she's REALLY rowing!

They do that here all the time, but they use the bottom and reach out
in front of the barge and pull it along like poling across the lake,
it's a company thats puts in bulkheads on the lake.

I wonder if he could be busted for running a commerical vessel without
a licences, and not having the proper lights and equipment for a power
vessel of that size. IMO the barge is now a power vessel.

My daughter has started on my rowing machine. She has just enough
time to get that scholarship to Radcliffe.

She can get/keep fit on a rowing machine but it is nothing like a racing
shell. Hugely muscular people from other sports often win championships on
indoor rowing machines but a racing shell demands speed of hand allied to
technique. Good technique can only be learned on the water.
If she is keen she should join a rowing club and get on the water in a shell
at the earliest possible age. Start on a single. Any single sculler can
quickly learn sweep rowing but the reverse is not true.
Best of all you can keep rowing and competing to whatever age!

Cost prohibitive and the Grand is no place for a kid to be sculling
alone...she is also sailing Butterflies in the summer...whole different
set of muscles, etc, but still needs eye/hand coordination, etc.
Unfortuantelu, the school only has the team boats and no facilities for
single rowers...I'm just glad that she's doing it...her younger sister
isn't interested at all ...didn't like sailing Opti's at all and is
really into her celloand viola...at least one of them wanted to be on
the water!
