I would rather say that a desire to drive fast sports cars is what sets man apart from the animals.

Hello everyone,
I'm new here. I have some experience rowing sweep back in college - I'm 65 now, and I've been rowing an open water single for 6 months. I use pontoons because I have a lot of improving to do.
My question involves tall rain boots. I've seen people wearing these while setting their shell in the water and launching but I can't tell if they row with them on or take them off. I'm wondering how you would take them off in the shell without flipping? I'm considering them because the water is colder now and I don't like cold wet feet ( :
