my Saturdays of rowing

This fall (and into the winter) I took rowing classes with some of my friends and colleagues. In order to be able to take the boats out by ourselves, we had to take a beginner's course. So, for many Saturdays, we spent out afternoons on the river in Hong Kong, rowing and learning how to stay afloat. We never managed to tip over, but we saw others who did! It was more difficult than I expected it to be, but we had a good time trying something new and exploring another part of Hong Kong together. our team: Jenn, Sara, Kathie, myself, and Anna.

These boats were pretty hard to lift and dock. Luckily, as "gwilos" we had quite a few helpers.
