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.

A very rainy day

Image

At 6am it was raining although the temperatures (both water and air) added up to a safe day to row.  And the forecast at the time was for more rain most of the day.  But by the time I finished my usual two mile walk around the rail trail the rain had stopped and the forecast, although very cloudy, the rain had pretty much dried up.

If you are able to go out, enjoy the rest of the day.  I continue to have too many commitments to get out on the Hudson or the Creek but I am sure within a week or so I will be able to join in the glorious waters we have here in Kingston.
