As Bill says, when you are first learning to sail you will row way too much, as you still don't know how to sail and you intuitively think of the oar as a substitute for the engine, which it is indeed a piss poor one. This serious negative feedback loop will encourage you to learn all about sailing you can, and then suddenly you'll realize that you've been sailing for most of a season and haven't even broken the oar out.

Hence the often missed very modest humor of the "The Oar Club." While you're still in the the "oar" club you're still a shitty sailor trying to compensate for the lack of sailing skills and a motor. But you ARE improving. . .
