GREETINGS FROM THE VOGALONGA

Thomas Lubbig one of our past German summer resident a member of R&R sent this post along recently that I thought worth sharing on the blog. It go spme traction among the group so here is the original e-mail and the daisy chain that followed. BTW clink on this link www.vogalonga.com to see the action. It's incredible.

Dear Canottieri a Testa di Marmo

I am just back from the Vogalonga which is a unique rowing experience on open water: 30 kilometers around the Lagoon of Venice along with an incredible number of other rowers from around the world. There is a nice video on the website of www.vogalonga.com: With a lot of wind, my Mbhd acquired skills were put to good use. I was proudly wearing the RnR club hat when we were passing under the Rialto bridge.

Best regards

Thomas, Berlin (ex American sector)

Great video, Thomas -- it looked absolutely chaotic!!

Hope you are doing well

There were indeed some chaotic moments, the thing is that systemic chaos if properly implemented actually produces good results in that part of the world. We had a few gentle collisions which are kind of inevitable with the many bottlenecks on the tour especially on Canale Grande !

Best regards-Thomas

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Looks awesome!  It’s on my bucket list – and I’ve never had a bucket list before this moment!  Thomas, were you in a single?  Quad?  Thanks,  - Frank
