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.

Progress in the restoration and protection of the Rondout Creek

Rondout Creek is a major tributary of the Hudson River, and improving water quality in the creek has been a focus of Hudson Riverkeeper for several years. The upper part of the creek is dammed to create one of the reservoirs in New York City’s drinking water supply system, and the lower part of the creek is a beloved destination for wildlife viewing, paddling, fishing, and other recreation as it flows through small communities, farms, and forests before reaching the Hudson River at Kingston, NY. The final reach of the Rondout is part of the Hudson River Estuary and is critical habitat for aquatic life, including river herring and other Atlantic Ocean species that spawn in the estuary. More than 100,000 people rely on drinking water from the Hudson River in the vicinity of the creek’s confluence.

Here are some signs of progress in the restoration and protection of this creek.
