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.

FIGHT OAR DIE RESCUE AT SEA
The crew of Fight Oar Die are safe and well.
Following being capsized by a massive wave the boat failed to self-right. Despite the best efforts of the crew they were unable to right the vessel and abandoned into the life raft. A nearby vessel was alerted and the rescue was carried out. Further investigation into the details of the incident are ongoing.
The crew are safely on board vessel Hanze Goteborg, being well looked after and will make landfall in Canada in early January. Atlantic Campaigns will support Will, Chad, Nick and Tommy on their journey home and will continue to liaise with their ground crew.
The weather on the Atlantic has been really testing our incredible fleet and will continue to for the next 12-24 hours, however calmer days will soon return and our Safety Team continue to monitor all teams on all systems 24 hours a day.
