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.

Solo Row

Posted on August 15, 2020 by The Rondout Rower

An extreme low tide at 6am this morning. Humidity low, temperature about 67 degrees Fahrenheit. Sunrise has a very beautiful rarified color that is very pleasing. I notice it as I row into the creek on the north side of Island Dock. The rusty bridge seems to have been painted by the sun so very beautifully. I have to share a few photos. I especially like to laugh at the funny way selfies appear backwards. It was too windy on the Hudson so I turn around at the lighthouse and go back on the creek to Feeney’s and back. All in all it was another peaceful sunrise row. One thing though. All instruments I had that use GPS were not working. This is the second time this has happened this week. Not sure if recent storms have caused outages. But as long as I can make a phone call I will go out on the Hudson.
