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.

Lovely rowing weather…..temps still not aligned.

Not aligned because I do not go out until it is safe for me to go out alone, without a safety launch following (which I do not have).  I need the air temperature plus the water temperature to add up to a number higher than 100 before the conditions are right for me to row.  Usually that is the first week of April, but this year it seems to want to come later!

NOTE:  By afternoon the temperature IS aligned.  But that is not when I usually row.
