Old man and the inlet

Catching nice morning sun just before the clouds moved in.  Henderson inlet.  Puget Sound, Washington.
This is an articulated rowing system on this boat.  When the occupant pulls back on the oars, the boat moves forward.  This allows the rower to face forward.

Iso-1600, 200-500 at 500 mm, F8, 640th, D 500, handheld

Interesting rig that I've seen before, David, but for my money I think I'd prefer a kayak paddle. I must admit though he looks a lot like Spencer Tracy. enlightened

I have never heard of that rowing system. Great idea if it does not end up losing a lot of energy in the direction transfer. Nice portrayal of a pleasant morning on the Sound. Very relaxing image.
