this summers rowing update

I have started taking my Nuvi rowing with me the last few weekends. I was curious about distance, top speed and average speed as well as total moving time on the water. Well, I don't have anything to compare against as this is the first couple times taking it with me but here are the numbers:
  • rowing time - 45 to 50 minutes
  • 2.4 nautical miles (2.75 miles)
  • average speed - 3 knots (3.5 mph)
  • Top speed - 5 knots (guessing for about 1/4 mile while sprinting when I cross the lake)
guess that deserves a nautical maiden :)

OK, time to start writing again . . .
Spent a great morning sailing in the San Juan practice races. Overcast with light air conditions. Our boat finished dead last each race, but we learned a lot. Didn't go back out after lunch because the wind was gone. Learned some sail trim techniques and the importance of weight distribution in light air.
