To all,
Sheila and I went rowing for the first time this season: for me it was 20 months ago for Sheila last September. The row was a lot of fun and although the weather was terrible we had a good time.
What I wanted to relay to everyone is that the boat yard was very busy yesterday: one boat was going in the water when we arrived, another was put in while we rowed, a third was put in the water while we were washing the boats and one more was being picked up when we left. Also, the skulls are packed together very tightly, and the oars are somewhat inaccessible.
The personnel working were very courteous and helpful: made sure we had access to the dock, warned us before they were lifting and told us when it is safe to walk around the crane. Also, we parked on the road not in the boat yard. Being so crowded we washed the boats on the dock.
We had to enter the water from the side of the dock, as there was a boat @ the front of the dock. However, we cut our row short when we saw that the front of the dock was clear and they weren't lifting yet. It was starting to rain anyway.
We cooperated with them and they cooperated with us. The important thing is to stay out of the way when they are lifting or moving a boat, and allow them access to move equipment around.
Thanks
Stan
