"Rowers are a strange breed. The very best rowers have the fierce competitiveness of a Green Beret soldier, the artistic temperament of an old world master, the control and patience of a Zen monk. They are not driven by dreams of glory and money. They are selfless and sturdy. They will cooperate with people whose company they don't much enjoy in order to achieve their goals. Strange, wonderful people."
