I had one experience with oars. We went to a Utah lake, and a guy from
California had left a boat for the summer with the camp host. They said
anyone could use it. The lake had beavers, so no motors of any type. I was
hesitant, but it was remarkably easy, and we caught lots of fish.

I like the newfangled reverse style which allow you to see the #$%^
where you're going much better than standard oars.
