I spent a few hours today on the gondola with gondolier Matthew Schenk. He's been with us for a while now, but there were a few advanced techniques I wanted to teach him, and it was a good excuse to get out on the boat and have some fun. We spent some time on close-quarters maneuvering and rowing backwards.
Here are some shots from the session:
Matt, openly laughing at his instructor.
That guy's so big that he almost eclipses the sun!
I stepped up to to the poppa to give instruction with little indietro (rowing backwards).
Dar-zo mezza barca (the prybar on the side of the boat stroke).
As you can see, the weather was just awful in Newport today. I've got to find a better place to live.
Matt, taking a phone call on the boat.
