Explore why some of our best rowing experiences happen beyond our boathouses—and why seeking out new boats, waters, people, and challenges doesn’t have to mean leaving your club behind.
We share some of our own adventures outside the usual club routine, then talk with Rachel Egner, Jenny Withycombe, and Steve Littlepage about preparing for an independent row around Vashon Island, WA, on August 16. Because sometimes, keeping your love of rowing alive means getting out of your usual lane.
