Sunday row

Beautiful day with wind from west, south west. At Marblehead Rock, Dee and Charlie was quite a distance behind, so Carlton and I decided to brake out and go for Tinkers. Big rollers from east coupled with waves created by the westerly wind made for an interesting row. At points the waves were coming from all directions. A little brake between Tinkers and the Neck, but on the way to Children's the wind picked up to the forecasted 10-12. I was rowing the Alden which was a joy and as easy to handle as the Echo in these conditions. The Star did fill up with water, but it also emptied itself to about 1/4 full just by keep on rowing. No bailing cup needed, but a in hull bailer would be a big plus.

Carlton and I kept an easy fairly slow pace and ended up putting 7 miles of the salt water behind us.

Happy rowing into the Zone and Beyond.
