I would suggest contacting your nearest rowing club and having a try-out
with them to see whether you enjoy it.

The best possible advice.
Clubs have two main functions: (1) Support and advice/coaching and (2)
providing a way for people to use expensive equipment without having to
lay out lots of money on it. You need both!
Tell us where this lake of yours is; who knows, it might be in an area
known to one of the people who follow this group.
You're welcome here, in any case: did we say that?

wow! do you actually like live in a house on stilts in the middle of
the lake or something? cool!!!!
yes best to go to a rowing club nearby first off as rowing and
sculling can often look much easier than it really is and it can take
years to be good enough to make it look effortless (i certainly
haven't mastered that trick yet, i'm still learning), and yes the
equipment can be very expensive.
where is this lake?

"On a lake" does not necessarily mean on top of.
bookie
yes it does, because if he lived 'next to' the lake he would have
written that wouldn't he? but he didn't write 'next to' he wrote 'on a
lake' so therefore he must live actually ON the lake
yours pedantically, Bookie

No it doesn't, go look it up in a dictionary.

and i think you mean Tourettes, a syndrome named after Georges Gilles
de la Tourettes the french physician who first identified it in 1884
as a condition related to OCD (and often showing co-morbidity with
this) and being distinct from someone just being annoying by
constantly producing involuntary tics, sounds and movements but as
people who actually suffer from a psychological disorder. Tourettes
can also include the symptom of coprolalia (involuntary bad language)
but not always.
unless of course you are dyslexic then it is teurets i suppose

what lake? RSR can give more specific help.

a sculling camp. Craftsbury (in Vermont, USA) take on people of any
age and get them into boats on their beautiful lake on 4 day or week
long courses. They have excellent coaches, stable boats for total
begineers and finer sculls to progress into. The food and setting is
magical and you are both certain to have a great time of it. More
details at http://www.craftsbury.com. The only downside is that their
season has just finished while they wait for it all to freeze over and
the skiing begins. So you'll have to wait until spring next year.
Just the perfect start rather than begging favours at a club to get
volunteers to coach you. Of course, some clubs have excellent starter
programmes, but not all by any means.
Good luck
