JEM Watercraft

Last Monday I had my JEM Trapper 15-38 out on Lake Michigan, which has more than 22 thousand square miles of surface. I stayed within 100 yards from shore, most of the time much closer, to be cautious against getting quickly wind blown too far out onto the lake.
Since then I have been wondering if I attach oarlocks and use oars instead of paddling, would that double my strength against the wind?
Regardless of the answers, I would never launch on a very windy day with three or four foot waves,
But I welcome wise opinions about rowing vs. paddling when the wind gets just a bit pushy, like say ten MPH.
Thank you.

Assuming proper technique for both, I'd say rowing let's one use more of their core and leg muscles. Strong than arms and trunk rotation.

But, unless you have a fancy rig, you're looking backward when you row.
