We arrived in Sacramento, nine old classmates, ready to revive our old racing spirit of long ago. The Head of the American is the West Coast equivalent of the Head of the Charles with almost as much pageantry if not international competition. We practiced for two days and then raced in the Master’s Division against eight other crews, all among the best out here. Considering our limited practice time, the race went well—we were the oldest crew but managed to take 3rd. So, I return to Boston with my 2009 season officially over, already thinking about when the waters around Marblehead will be warm enough to head to Halfway Rock.
