About The Rondout Rower

Born in San Juan, Puerto Rico, a Pisces, Nelsie Aybar-Grau not only enjoyed swimming in the Caribbean Sea but she has enjoyed travels that have brought her in close contact to the waters of the Thames, the Seine, the Yangtse, the Amazon, the Mississippi, the Hudson and the Harlem Rivers. Although she enjoyed swimming she had never pursued athletics in any serious way. After a career in computer programming for Wall Street area financial institutions she moved into the Hudson Valley upstate New York area. Then at 60 years of age as a favor to a friend she started photographing the Rondout Creek and the rowers in the Rondout Rowing Club. After four years of rowing both on land and water she became president of the rowing club from 2014 to 2017. Rowing has changed her life. Living steps away from the Rondout Creek has brought her closer to nature and the meditative rejuvenation that it provides.

Historic Snow Row 250 Announced

Posted on February 4, 2026 by The Rondout Rower

“This year’s race, officially titled Snow Row 250 – Pulling Together Since 1776, will serve as the first major public event of Hull’s commemoration of 250 years of American independence and coastal service. The beloved winter rowing tradition will feature its signature LeMans-style beach start, a 3 3/4-mile triangular course, and, for 2026 only, a dramatic ceremonial cannon start and appearance by the Hingham Militia, bringing Revolutionary-era pageantry to the shoreline.

Rowers are invited – though not required – to add a touch of Revolutionary-era flair, such as tricorn hats, sailor sashes, or colonial-inspired gear, adding color and personality to the race while keeping the focus on competition and seamanship.

In addition to traditional race awards, Snow Row 250 will introduce special honors including the Spirit of ’76 Award, the Revolutionary Crew Award, and the Hull Heritage Award, recognizing teams that best capture the energy, creativity, and community pride of the milestone year.”
