Big winds from the west and major bay chop did little to deter this past Sunday Row. Seth B, Veronica and Art were first on the water followed by Stan, Shelia, Eileen, Pal, Thomas, Jon (the viking),Chas, Sarah, Scott O, Loretta and yours truly, the captn' for the 8:00 time slot (am I missing anyone?). Eileen,Charlie and Thomas paired up with our "sophmore rowers", while Pal, Sarah, Jon and myself tooked the back side of the neck where small lees from the westerly winds could be found. Evidentually the viking and I went on to conquer the Tinker Island Loop. The downwind leg around the south end of the island was the stuff of legends. Jon and I had our hands full finessing the sculls through the downwind rolling chop that crashed over both bow and stern. The slog to our basin was equally challenging with no ability to rest along the way. An honest 6miles. With smiles on our faces, we both agreed that it was the best row of the season thus far......
Thanks to Chas the Czar of the Sunday row who provided some great vodka, mango drinks and bagels. I hear next Sunday Stan and Shelia will host the event. Can't wait.....-captn'
