  • Row vs Wade - differing perspectives

    To properly appreciate the dilemma of Row vs Wade it helps to examine the approaches adopted by great leaders, and see how they tackled comparative situations.

    George Washington clearly preferred Row. Iciness was a major concern, making Wade doubly dangerous, and his craft proved successful where others had failed. Later attempts which involved neither Row nor Wade failed due to an inclement environment.

    In contrast, Julius Ceasar opted for Wade. Shallowness was the main factor leading to his decision, and the obstacle gave him little trouble.

        It's always good to see how a little levity can lighten the mood of a serious subject and allow people to take a breath and not get angry. If we still had POTD I would nominate this.

          Under the "wet foot, dry foot" policy (in which people fleeing Cuba would be turned away if they were found in a boat, but allowed to be in the US if they made it to land), Wade was much better to Row, but Row was necessary to reach Wade. They'd send you back if you were on Row when you were intercepted, but once you got close enough to land that you could Wade, you were in the clear.
