Getting Eight to Work Together

I was down by the lake at Kenmore on my usual hunt for floatplanes but things were pretty quiet – at least on the aviation front.  On the water, I saw a bunch of rowers out training.  I don’t know whether they were from the university or a local club.  Several boats were out including some eights.  The coaching staff were guiding them around but, when they get to the top of the lake, it seems like a time for them to rest and turn around.  I imagine the process of getting eight people to row in unison is quite tricky.  I don’t know whether they start on smaller boats to get the hang of things before moving up to the eight or not.  These crews seemed to be working pretty well together.
