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.

About Lia Ditton

Posted on November 12, 2019 by The Rondout Rower

About LIA: “….she has studied under 12 different personal trainers to absorb
as many different philosophies as possible on how to train for the challenge ahead.” AND
she “…has rebuilt her boat twice”. She says her most satisfying achievement was
paddling a surf kayak 56km from Majorca to Menorca, Spain to attend the Fiesta San Juan with friends. That, she says, “was the most riskiest, most dangerous and thrilling thing I have done. I took a dress, some flipflops, a bottle of water, my passport and credit card and took off.”
