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.

Rowers docks under the Wurts Street Bridge were removed

Posted on March 31, 2022 by The Rondout Rower

I have noticed the docks under the Wurts Street Bridge are missing so I asked what was the plan for them. These are the only truly “public” docks with access to the Rondout Creek here in Kingston.

The City sought and received a DEC grant to replace the public launch at Dock Street. Julie Noble is Project Manager for this project. At this point the City has gotten into contract with the State. The next step is stakeholder outreach, then design, procurement and installation. Of course, installation cannot happen until the Wurts Street bridge is complete.
