I made a pair of 10' oars that mount on oarlock cleats located on top of the
coaming at about mid cockpit. The reason for the oarlock/cleat is that
there were cleats already in that position when I got the boat.
I rowed the boat for seven miles one totally windless day, one way with the
current and the other way with no current half the way and a little push the
rest of the way (Hudson River).. It was OK, but without the current it was
no fun. I figure the boat is just too fat to row. I intended to carry the
oars on the boat (for something to due when the wind dies), but between
getting in the way and poor rowing quality, I leave them home most of the
time. There's a picture of the setup on my website.

Hey Frank, it's really cold here too and snowy. This is the earliest winter
we've had in twenty years.
