As witness by that find specimen on your left, Charlie and I ventures out to Pig Rocks this morning on a full morning tide. For those of you who are not chart savy they are located around 1 ½ miles south of Tinkers (on the way to Egg Rock). It's amazing how quickly the wind and water lays down once you're clear of the heat radiating from the land mass. It was all chop and slop until we passed Tinkers. Afterwhich we were greeted by a mild southern breeze and dimpled gentle rollers. With the exception of a few lobster boats, the ocean was all ours. Round trip took a little under 2 hours to row an honest 9 miles. Charlie's longest of the season and mine since the Blackburn. It was a fine row and a great way to start the day.Wednesday, July 29, 2009

WAY TO GO CHAZ
ReplyDeleteGETTIN READY FOR BLACKBURN 2010
Way to go Chas. Feels good, doesn't it?
ReplyDeletePaul, I'm beginning to think the Blackburn is possible! And, yes, it sure did feel good to cover so much open water.
ReplyDeleteCap'n Jack Sparrow may be thought a blackguard by some, but he has nothing but a gentleman and a savior to those who have the privilege of rowing with him.
