Rowing works 87 percent of the muscles in the human body but also can be relaxing and contemplative.

Lake Martin’s Dana Hardy Ferniany began searching for a rowing shell shortly after the Willow Glynn home she built with husband Will was finished last year. Ferniany had rowed on a team when she lived in Pennsylvania, and as she planned to spend more time at the lake in the future, she wanted to return to the sport; however, she wanted something more substantial than the traditional sculling shell without sacrificing the relaxing, contemplative aspect of rowing.

“I was just kind of browsing online, and I came across something called coastal rowing, so I clicked on the link,” Ferniany said. “About a week later, I flew to Sarasota to try one out.”
