AND WHAT A GREAT ROW OUR FIRST SUNDAY ROW TURNED OUT TO BE

Who would have thunk based on the boomers and clappers we had around 6:30 this morning. But when the motley crew finally made an appearance, (so much for rigged and ready on the water by 8:00AM), our first Sunday Row was met w/clearing skies, flat water and a rockn'ready group of individuals anxious to row. In appearance was; Jean V, her son Chris, Thomas V, Paul M, Stephanie B, Chas H and yours truly. Missing in action was Dana Y(last minute cancellation due to a family sleepover), Maryellen S, (came looking for us around 8:50 but we were long gone)and Jon Hanke (Jon what happen??). Anyways, we ended up crossing the bay on a true north bearing to the Lighthouse off Beverly, sometimes as a group, sometimes pairs and sometimes alone. It was an incredible sight to see so many sculls at once on the water. Round trip was around 6 miles (depending what route you took home). Stephanie probably did a little more with her "right/left" rowing technique. Upon our return to the yard we proceeded to move all the racks and boats over to the right shed our "official" Summer Home. Special thanks to all the heavy lifting done today folks to make this happen and Stephan (Stephanies' husband, potential member and soon to be nominated president of the RnR "booster club")much appreciation for bringing us coffee, drinks and muffins.
So the only question remaining to ask is: WHO'S GOING ROWING THIS WEEK?
