The little Canadian rowboat that could.

Hello from Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada. Rowboat revolution is my Facebook page/journal. I chronicle all my design adventures on my social media book. I designed an accessible rowboat concept after seeing individuals using an accessible fishing dock at a lake close to my home. My friend who survived a stroke has led to some great design ideas. I created a way for him to hold his fishing rod with a simple chest harness. He reels with his active hand. I then created a way for him to row unassisted. The electric oar was born. Powerful moments are experienced as I watched him row away. My page has several videos that I hope will show what is possible. I hope you enjoy my story.. JP
