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.

Helping other clubs

Yesterday we provided Ivan Rudolph-Shabinsky, of Rockland Rowing,  our  EDON TS515 sculling boat.  Here he is at Rockland Lake State Park where his club currently rows.  It was overcast but Ivan quickly jumped in and raced off into the lake.  He and some of the members of the club had just gotten back from the World Masters Rowing Regatta in Sarasota Florida and will be going soon to the Head of the Charles Race in October.
