Dear Members,
Nature has won out. This Saturday 10 club members in two Echoes were planning to leave our dock at first light for Provincetown. Marine forecasts are now predicting 6 to 10 foot swells from Hurricane Bill as it passes Bermuda, not to mention possible fog, high winds and lightning storms. The rowing gods are speaking to us and we are listening. Not this year. However, enthusiasm for holding the event next summer has not waned. Art Capstaff and Paul Mazonson, who had generously offered their large watercraft as chase boats, are committed to giving it another try. I also want to acknowledge Maryellen Solomon-Auger for organizing things on the Provincetown side where she is camped out for the month of August, rowing and holding learn-to-row clinics. And to the rowers and support staff who had signed up to put ten to twelve hours on the sea, thanks for embracing the Rock N Row ethos. They are: Jean and Chuck Verbridge, Terri and Chris Leake, Jack Tatelman, Jon Hanke, Paul Mazonson, Art Capstaff, Maryellen Solomon-Auger, Tobey Solomon-Auger and Carmi and Jay Paris. Thanks also to Carlton Sparrell for offering to lend his inflatable to serve as a launch, and to Capt. Jack for offering to fly Maryellen and Tobey from Provincetown to Marblehead on Friday afternoon.
Next year... Jay P
