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.

Saturday, June 4th, 2022, is National Learn to Row Day (according to USRowing). I would like to give anyone interested the opportunity to learn to row on my two sliding seat training boats. I will provide a lesson at KINGSTON POINT BEACH by demonstrating how to row them on the beach on stands. Then I will let you try it out. Once you feel confident I will put you out on the water. Of course, this is weather permitting — the wind cannot be more than 5 mph because for novices any more would be difficult.
I will be there from 6:30-7:30am, 7:30-8:30am and 8:30-9:30am. Let me know which time you would be interested in joining. I can only ensure that about 4 people per hour can have on-water time, but anyone can watch and learn as well. By entering comments here you indicate which session you want to join. This is on a first come first serve basis so make sure I respond to you. . If I have to cancel I will post it on my website www.therondoutrower.com by 6:00am.  This session is FREE
By the way, The New York State Empire State Trail runs along the Hudson from the beach and anyone can also walk or ride bikes to the new Sojourner Truth Park on the trail afterward. Or just visit Rotary Park along the Hudson. It is beautiful and has many picnic tables.
