Had an outing in a double scull this afternoon with one of the coaches at my local rowing club. It's only taken me about 20 years to get involved. It was pretty brill though I've obviously got some work to do to get my technique sorted. Absolutely perfect conditions on the Thames today.
When I got home I typed the fateful words 'scull' and 'sale' into google. I pointed out some nice used boats to Mrs Manotea going cheap (~3K, not that I've got 3K in loose change at the moment, and FWIW my PBP bike cost nearer 300), 'Look, this one has aero riggers'. She said,and I quote, 'I can't stand the way you become interested in something and become any instant aficionado'. Moi?
