Ramo at the Remo

What are the chances I'd end up training a guy named "Ramo"...to row 

with a remo?

Whatever those odds are, it happened today.

He did well too.  The wind was out in force, but he kept fighting it.

With a remo in his hand, Ramo kept the boat steady enough for me to crawl out onto the bow and snap this photo.

I predict he'll be wearing stripes soon.
