Emphasis on the word "fantasize".

Don't think I'd want to do it in the Herreshoff Columbia Yacht Tender. And the Marblehead Gunning Dory is far from complete. I would have to finish the Dory, install two Piandetosi Sliding Seats, and find another victim who would like to make the 4 hour row with me.

The first two conditions are doable with the right commitment. Finding a rowing partner is another.

If you are comfortable with torture, and would like to volunteer, send me an email at
jnestor@nanepashemet.com..... and I will consider your proposal.

Course you would have to be in shape for the challenge.... and so would I.

Plus, in addition to the physical torture, you would have to have the mental edge to endure my constant whining and kvetching for multiple hours. I would have to insist that no instruments with sharp edges be taken on this row. So if you threw me overboard, I wouldn't be attracting sharks from open wound bleeding.

From my experience in rowing 4 miles around Marblehead Harbor every once in awhile, 20 miles is a freaking hike. But I'm game if you are.
