The only "rowing" race I have ever done was haarii (e.g.

tired after I felt like puking. So naturally I figured I'd take up kayaking
recreationally.

1. You want to go *this* way but the wind pushes you *that* way
2. The wind won't push you anywhere at all
3. You end up going upside down (assuming this is not the way you intended
to go)
