This year was no different; not counting whale boats, there were about 30 gigs on the beach.  More than I have ever seen in one place before.  The day started with a snow flurry that somehow was appropriate and set the stage nicely.

It was particularly nice to see the hero of the 2011 Snow Row, Jan Reddy, in attendance (I knew you would find a way not to miss it).

Both the men in the Interceptor and the women racing in the Jenness came in second behind Belfast. A respectable finish given Belfast's boats are more than 300 pounds lighter than ours. Not to mention that the girls boat was cut off at the start where collisions and broken thole pins were what they had to deal with. Congratulations to Belfast; they have, under Malcolm's direction, put a very strong program together and have raised the bar to become great rivals for Saquish.  What a great sport we have all happened on to.

Congratulations to all.

The entire Saquish fleet was on the water, with each crew having their own story to tell at the end of the day. Congratulations to the men of the Interceptor for bringing back the coveted golden clam shell to Saquish Rowing. The Tucker, crewed by the Mother Tuckers and coxed by Master and Commander Sterling Wall, also was a winner with the best time in its class - well done. The most important story of the day, however, was the crew of the Jenness and their rescue of five rowers who were capsized, found and saved. With Janet Reddy's skill with the rudder, I hear each rower was plucked from the sea one by one, unharmed.  Congratulations!  A proud moment for us all.

We will then pick numbers and pick gifts, etc. Be creative!

Hope to see you there!]]><![CDATA[Upcoming Coxing Clinic]]>Mon, 25 Oct 2010 07:40:11 -0800http://www.saquishrowingeducationsocietyinc.org/1/post/2010/10/upcoming-coxing-clinic.htmlThe Board of Directors is getting ready to put together a coxing clinic.  We don’t have many details yet, but it will be for beginners and then another version for more experienced coxswains.  The clinic might be a mix of in-class and on water exercises.

We are looking for volunteers to form a committee on putting such a clinic together.  The intent is to issue a certificate of attendance that we will also offer to other clubs.  If interested, let Tony Ruocco know.
