Yes indeedy. Today's Salem News reports that Endicott College is hosting a six-college rowing regatta on.......Halloween!
http://www.salemnews.com/punews/local_story_244000804.html
Start time is 8 a.m. at Porter River in Danvers. Course is 5K, down Danvers River, under Kernwood Bridge, ending on North River by MBTA station in Salem. (Don't have my Eldredge's at hand to confirm that this will be high tide!)
Sounds like they'll be rowing eights; participants will wear costumes. Maybe they need some RnR pirates to liven things up?
(The scary part will be loading boats and driving back through the Halloween traffic......me, I'm planning on reading about this.)

Ya I heard about this event. Unfortunately, I will be away that weekend. Are you going to row it?
ReplyDeleteMy sense is that it's an organized event for college eights. No reason that a hardy bunch of pirates in sculls couldn't tag along, I suppose. There would be strength in numbers. But I don't know about the logistics.
ReplyDeleteThe course itself is probably easy. I've always thought about rowing the North River (at high tide!). FWIW, I just went from Mhd harbor to the Beverly Bridge and back. If the hands heal in time, I'll try to show up on Sunday.
