Okay, so it wasn't as bad as the images here but a few of us wanted to taste the aftermath of the tropical storm that was racing into Canada. So Paulie, Thomas, Uber Guest Athlete Trish Karter and I headed into 3-4 foot swells with an 18 mph tailwind to embrace the conditions. And we did. Rowing laps around Marblehead Rock and the bell buoy beyond, we pulled our Echos up and down the troughs and crests in crsytaline, brilliant sunlight, feeling about as alive as you can on earth. It was memorable -- ocean spray in our faces, the magical sightings of seeing your crew mates disappear out of sight, only to reappear seconds later as we traversed the swells. It had some kick and edge withouth being reckless -- just about right for a late season row in the R & R ethos.
Nice pics of all the action. Would have liked to have been there
