Description

It was probably inevitable that Mike and Donna would get together. You hear so often about stroke-coxswain relationships that it's almost a cliche in the rowing world. They spend hours every day facing each other: he the number-one rower at the back of the boat, setting the pace for the seven others with his strength and skill; she steering the boat and shouting commands, her strength hidden under layers of cotton and Gore-tex. Still, it was disconcerting for all of us to think that the command of the whole crew was in the hands of two mooning lovers back there who would probably be just as happy in a little rowboat in a park somewhere, complete with parasol and seersucker suit. It was racing season--time for the big three-mile head races in Madison and Philly and Boston--and there was no time for messing about in boats, as they say, because to us this was serious business.
