FRIDAY 60 DEGREE WEATHER

Friday it was 60 degrees as I passed by this flat water scene off Swampscott. In the center background is Egg Rock, about a 15 miler from the shed and boathouse we call home. How many days till Spring? How many more till we launch? These are the questions that keep cropping up in my head even though today it's snowing with 2-3 inches expected.
Don't you love New England winters?

The RnR Adventure Classic

Everything good in life has history and this recipe has its own legacy. A fully fortified meal providing a platform for creativity as long as basic ingredients are maintained.
Ingredients:
2 slices whole grain bread (in an emergency, wonder will do)
1 jar JIF peanut butter (purists will sub "all natural")
1 jar jelly (be as creative as you want, I choose raspberry!)
1 bag Cape Cod Russet Potato Chips
To Prepare:
Lay two slices of bread on the dock, smear with peanut butter. Use as much as you like but remember, the more you stuff, the more you wear.
Smear bread slice #2 with jelly, same rules apply.
Now here's the fun part....stack potato chips on top of peanut butter as high as possible, carefully and deliberately place slice#2 on top and in one smooth, strong stroke, CRUSH those chippies!
Sit back and enjoy!

ROCKNROW-KEY LARGO




Greeting from the Florida Keys. Well it took me closed to two years, but I'm happy to report that RocknRow Key Largo has finally re-opened. And while I only have a couple of beds, a few pots and pans and some other basic living materials at the home, I do have a wonderful Echo Rower and incredible blue water to play in. Feels somewhat like Christopher Columbus. No one down here has ever seen a rowing shell on the open water. Boats pull up asking questions. People wave to me. I'm sure most think I'm crazy. My goal would to eventually start a club here. RocknRow South? But for now I'm content to be a rower of one or two. Did I mention I have another shell for guest?
