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.

Tracking the Atlantic Ocean crossing rowers

FIGHT OAR DIE UPDATE
Our Head Safety Officer has just had a 45 minute conversation with the Fight Oar Die crew as they make their way to Canada. The crew are in excellent spirits and asked that the other crews and all the followers know that they are happy and healthy though clearly disappointed not to be finishing the row.
They are battered and sore but report that the ship they are on has an excellent chef and they are eating like kings and recovering well. Part of the discussion was to get the details of what happened and what can be learned to help future rowers and this will continue once the crew are back ashore.
Their conduct and actions at sea were exactly what was required and they kept cool heads and acted selflessly and with courage to look after each other. Atlantic Campaigns will continue to speak with them and assist their journey home.
