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.

Fascinating picture

I did not know what I would get. Coming into Rondout Creek from the Hudson at a point where there is a southward bend.  The current was ebbing at around 1.84 knots and the wind was picking up (that’s why we turned around to go back into the Creek).  So I find the waves curving along my path so fascinating.  The rower I was guiding was a novice and her first time back in the water since last summer.  Anyway, very interesting picture and that’s what I love about being out there.  NEVER A DULL MOMENT!
