There is satire through this book. The narrator examines haphazard packing for a vacation, rather sexist (in todays terms) view of women in boats, and satirical jabs at different characters. At one point, for example,  J. digresses to consider how women’s boating clothes tend to be pretty but impractical. He recounts a time he and a friend took several women rowing. The women wore such delicate clothes that even a drop of water would stain them, and they were unable to have fun on the trip because they were concerned about ruining their outfits.
