Rowing on the Bay
For the uninitiated, rowing on the San Francisco Bay can be a glorious endeavour but it is not without it's dangers. The bay is a tidal basin and an active waterfront. There will be a current to contend with during this row. It will amount to an uphill climb to the turn with a downhill finish.
