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.

Like many not-for-profits this year, 2020, the year of COVID, the Hudson River Maritime Museum is struggling to stay afloat.  Kingston is a relatively small town of 23,000 residents, give or take, so fundraising requires casting a wide net.  In the world of rowing the museum supports the Kingston High School Crew as well as the YouthBoat Project which teaches rowing on traditional rowboats.  In order to keep the museum up and running so that it can continue to provide these wonderful programs that instill needed skills such as discipline, leadership, camaraderie, humility,  and trust…  Please support the Hudson River Maritime Museum with a donation today.
