Like rowing in a sauna today

Today got to row with Jackie Riddick, owner of Eagle Peak Acupuncture.  One of the most energetic, photogenic members of the Rondout Rowing Club.  Its great to be out on the water regardless of how steamy and hot it is —-even at 6am!  Humidity 97%.  But Jackie is so energetic and photogenic—her energy is addictive.  Thanks for the company Jackie!

Balance or no?

If you go to the RegattaCentral website you will see a beautiful picture (this one) in a slideshow of beautiful rowing pictures. A young lady sculling is presented and you think to yourself how balanced she looks. But look closely and you will see that the boat is tilted slightly to the left. That is her right, her port side. The boat handle grips show the standard “left over right” , the natural cause of the tilt.Out of balance Regatta Central photo
