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.

At the conference last Friday night I sat at the dinner table with this athletic looking lady who was very energetic and chatty. She was very hyped up about a little rowing club she had just started in Cooperstown, New York with her own money. I JUST NOW looked up her name on google and facebook and found out that she is a two time Olympic rower (she competed on the Olympic Rowing teams in 1992 and 1996). Her name is Andrea Thies and check out this article about her. Yeah, she likes using boats like mine.
