This weeks "adda boy, kudos and all out congratulations goes out to none other than Eileen Perry, a 2009 mid season member who after doing her last "newbie" instructional row this passed Wednesday night decides to venture out this Sunday AM and play with the "big dogs" of RnR. Present for this morning's outing were: Dee (it's been way too long since my last row)Johnson, her daughter Lauren who rows sweeps in college, Paulie and Carlton who were rowing Echos. Jon and myself in "Double Trouble" (Which is a whole new entry that shall be written another time). Dee and Lauren ventured northbound while the rest of us cruised towards the shores of Beverly. A southerly breeze brought us quickly down wind into the bay and the opposite shore line. (Where we snapped this smiling face of Eileen). Quarterly beam reach brought us down to the Lighthouse off Salem Harbor where Pauli and Eileen began there slog back to the basin. Yes folks, it's true. A downward leg out mostly likely leaves you with a headwind for the return. 5.25 miles and hour+ row, Eileen was safely back at the club house dock having completed a well earned Sunday Row.

Congratulations Eileen.
ReplyDeleteYou have worked hard and it is quite the accomplishment. It also says much about all the work that has gone into training/instructing the Newbies by the established rowers and THANKS goes to all of you from all of us Newbies.
Congratulations Eileen. The freedom to row into the sunset to the end of the world is just a beautiful thing.
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone. I second what Sarah said about the training, everyone has been so helpful and supportive. This is getting to be very addictive!
