“Harmony, balance, and rhythm. They’re the three things that stay with you your whole life. Without them civilization is out of whack. And that’s why an oarsman, when he goes out in life, he can fight it, he can handle life. That’s what he gets from rowing. —George Yeoman Pocock”
I wish I could explain why this book has become my all time favorite, a bit of history, a bit of sport psychology, and a touch of woodworking.
