Balance - the Zen of the oarlocks

After Monday's paddling about with no stabilizers and staying dry, went out in the canal without them again this morning. I was pleased to find from the Speedcoach that I was a little faster around my regular route for a lot less heartbeats and strokes.. I'm beginning to feel the boat's balance with the subtle outwards pressure on the oarlocks. Thanks to the post on the rowing illustrated board.

I think the floats will be off most of the fair weather time from now on. I like this rowing thing.
