NEWBIE INAGURAL ROWS

Two of RnR's newest members Art Capstaff and Scott Smith were finally able to find their "sea legs" and rowed for the first time in am Echo. This morning with the pea soup fog Terrie and Jack attempted to get a few of the never evers out on the water. Last minute cancellation brought down the numbers to one. So Art got the benefit of a 2 on 1 instructional lessons. Like all never evers he suffered through the first few minutres of fear and anxiety. But by the time the 45 minute lesson was over, he was rowing so pretty stable circles around the back of Brown Island. Jack caught up with Scott at the end of the day asking him if he would like an oreintation row. With a full tide bay and deminishing winds, conditions were perfect to learn. Scott has rowed before and showed with his comfort in the shell and the quickness he understood the different drills. He could benefit greatly by a few pointers from Thomas and Jay. But time on the water should build up his technique and comfidence. Kudo's to both of them for getting out and row.
