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 DESCRIPTION:

Because we are living longer and our population is aging the prevalence of Alzheimer’s and Dementia is increasing.   I have an opportunity to dedicate 18 months of my life to raising awareness and funds for Alzheimer’s Research UK.  I am funding this expensive adventure myself so 100% of all donations will go direct  to this truly worthwhile charity. Last year I had a knee replacement and 10 years ago  prostate cancer however  I believe that with my positive adventurous attitude,  my strength  and  my vast sailing experience I can at the age of 70   be the oldest  person to row the Atlantic and do it single handed.  I have sailed this route 3 times at this time of year in my own yacht. Got the boat and I love it!
