    I used my Mandarin 17 as a tow boat to tow the "camera boat" to take this video this morning.

    It's sort of like rowing along the Thames in a 100 year old Thames rowing skiff. It even sounds like it with the leather wrapped oars in the Thule posts. :D

    I got hit with the YouTube "Matched third party content" because I used a section of Signs of Life". I had to delete the video.
    I will remove the soundtrack and re-post.

    UPDATE: Here is the link to the sanitized version of my video of tow rowing.



    For added viewing pleasure, you may wish to listen to your own copy of Pink Floyd "Signs of Life" with the sound effects of the 100 year old Thames rowing skiff.
    It was recorded at David Gilmour's houseboat recording studio on the Thames.
