The Most Interesting Man in the World? March 5th, 2012 @ 8:23 am PDT
It usually takes me a few weeks to get around to reading Sports Illustrated. So I’m a bit late to this, but I just read the SI obituary of John Fairfax. He’s most famous for being the first man to row solo across the Atlantic, which he did in 1969. But it seems like everything […]

Concept2 December 30th, 2008 @ 7:55 am PDT
I am seriously considering buying myself an erg. There are two craptastic ones at my gym, and I haven’t rowed on a nice one in so long that I have almost forgetten how tremendously painful it is. We have plenty of room on the back patio for it. And I’m not exactly going to lose […]

There is an excellent glossary of rowing terms on the NBC Olympics site.
Florida Crew Alumni Search June 6th, 2005 @ 10:20 pm PDT
Hey, Florida Crew Alumni! One of the current rowers, Kerri Riva, is attempting to find everyone. If you used to row for UF, drop her a line and let her know how to find you. Hell, drop me a line and let me know how to find you. (I highly doubt she’s trying to get […]
Nude Rowing February 22nd, 2002 @ 5:56 pm PDT
Nude, and loving it – The members of Scotland’s Robert Gordon University Crew team, who, according to captain Andrew Shannon, are training in the buff to “find out what natural assets we have for rowing.” The team, which has braved wintry conditions while preparing for next month’s Aberdeen Universities boat race, consists of four female […]
USRowing November 8th, 2001 @ 4:38 pm PDT
The USRowing web site is essentially the same as it was five years ago. It’s incredible that this is the organization that basically runs the sport of crew in the United States and they haven’t bothered to make the most simple of upgrades. There must be thousands of rowers who are also computer geeks. Their […]
Searching for Michael Sapp April 18th, 2001 @ 3:03 pm PDT
So here’s an interesting idea. I used to have a pal named Mike Sapp. We rowed together for Florida Crew in ’95 and ’96. I can’t find him. I’ve looked. I’ve tried all his old eMail addresses. None work. I’ve tried all the internet people-finders and looker-uppers. No dice. Then I thought, “Maybe he reads […]

Here are five shots of me rowing. I sat two-seat for almost every race. These pictures do not do the sport justice.
