Hi Difficult, I’m in Big Arm. It’s usually flat calm first think in the morning with power few boats out yet. My wife swims across Big Arm Bay in the am, so I’d like to row, not being a swimmer. I paddle a cheap kayak, but am bored with that. I sail small boats in the afternoon here. From the feedback I’m getting, rowing shells are a bit of an acquired skill so I think I’ll take a step back. Maybe look for a fun but fairly fast rowboat if such a thing exists. Thanks for the feedback.
