As a new cox i have come to the realization that coxing is 70% sitting in a puddle of cold water, 20% getting splashed by your rowers, and 10% wondering if there actually is a log right in front of your boat or are you just seeing things
To add onto that 10% is wondering if that big thunk you heard was a log hitting the bottom of the boat and snapping off the skeg or a rower shoving their oar into the oarlock
