I grew up in New England at the edge of the Atlantic and have for many years been an avid rower. I've rowed in various places, including the Ganges in India, the River Shannon in Ireland, and the Sea of Galilee.

All my life I've been rowing against the tide. What can I do? It seems I was born that way.

I once paddled a canoe the length of the Mississippi River all the way from Itasca to New Orleans.

Only the guy who isn't rowing has time to rock the boat.

I've never been far from the river. I'm sort of like a Thames-nymph.

I love swimming in rivers, and well remember once jumping in at Chiswick.

I surf, swim, play water polo, and I paddle an outrigger canoe with my team. I'm also a klutz on land, so water is my thing.

Sailing is a completely new sport for me and I wasn't sure what to expect but I've definitely got the bug.

Boating on the lake is one of my favorite summer activities.
