That was great! I loved the grainy old tape from Tokyo. They ran the race at night, and the course was lit by automobile headlights and flares.

Congratulations to them. Never have sculled an oar I am intrigued by the rowing races. Looks tough.
Once we were having a Star race and my crew and I were at the dock watching an 8 woman scull load up to go out. I guess that one of the ladies thought that we were just a couple of dirty old men ogling the nice young women. She shouted 'hey, what are you looking at?' over at us, to which I just grinned and said 'I am watching to see how long it takes y'all to fill up that boat without turning over', to which there was a general laugh. Neat sport.
