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.

Paddle to Cruger, Magdalen Islands

Posted on August 17, 2020 by The Rondout Rower

Great adventure with friends Margo and Bob yesterday, August 16, 2020.. We had 2 SUPs (Anezka and I), a canoe and a sleek kayak. We launched from Glasco Mini Park and headed towards Cruger Island (see map of Hudson section below). The mile or so across the Hudson was treacherous. We learned that the SUPs, although slow, did the job. The sleek kayak, of course, had the best performance (and, I must say, a great paddler!), and the canoe had the most trouble as it sits higher on the water and the wind was a very big problem, setting up a severe chop all the way across. After going under the amtrak bridge at Cruger we returned to the Hudson and headed up to Magdalen Island. A short stop on Magdalen and we were back across the Hudson again. Both Cruger and Magdalen are south of Saugerties and north of Kingson, NY.
