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.

Row today to Kingston Point Beach

Posted on August 9, 2020 by The Rondout Rower

Every sunrise is more beautiful than the last. We head towards the lighthouse and once we are on the Hudson (with 4 – 5 mph wind!) we see flocks of great whites inside the jetty. Then we take a break at the beach and check out the brick archway at the Hutton Brickyards place (for private weddings only). On the way back the Hudson is choppier, wind picked up a bit. But once on the creek it’s like glass! (5.5 miles, great for Sunday morning).
