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.

Team’s slogan is ‘by women, for women’

TEAM:  ATLANTIC DUTCHESSES
COUNTRY: NETHERLANDS
BOAT DESIGN: R45
CHARITY: HET VROUWENHART
WEBSITE:   www.dutchessofthesea

Atlantic Dutchesses are looking to become the first Dutch female crew to cross the Atlantic ocean.

Astrid is a 53 year old graphic designer, mother of a good looking boy and who is very spontaneous. Remke is a 58 year old grey(cious) lady. She leads an active lifestyle with her boyfriend and Dutchess of the Sea. Désirée is a 52 year old in-exterior decorator who has two dogs and a lovely guy. A woman with balls. Bela is 52 years young sporty freelance digital consultant, has 3 grown kids as well as a loving husband.

The team’s slogan is ‘by women, for women’ and that is why, as a charity, they are raising money to support scientific research that focuses on heart disease in women. At the moment, 57 women per day die of heart disease in the Netherlands. By researching the early symptoms in women, which sometimes differ from men, their chances of survival can be improved significantly. Lastly, a shout out to de Waard transport & overslag b.v. for believing in us and making sure we have a beauty of a boat to race in.
