Winter

Well January has not been nice rowing weather in Beaufort this year.  The cold and the wind have conspired to decrease our outings but the crew perseveres in spite of the elements.  New blood taking over the blogging duties soon so stay tuned for more frequent updates.

Sept 29, 2012

Big day on the water this morning.  The newly reconditioned Vespoli 8 was re-launched and we rowed both 8 man shells together for the first time.  The water was smooth and we sighted 4 dolphin.  The weather is cooling off and the water was glassy.  The second low-profile dock certainly makes launch and boat storage easier.  We eagerly await the proposed plan to extend the Beaufort downtown dock space so that we have an option to relocate our venue to downtown Beaufort.  The decision should be made soon. Stay tuned and we will keep you posted.

Updates

Hello All,
Sorry for the long delay in the Blog update.  It certainly does not mean we have not been rowing!  Most often we fill at least two boats for every outing and we usually row Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturday.

We just acquired our second low profile Accudock and that has made our launch and recovery much smoother.  Come on and join us.

Lots of News!

January has been poor for rowing but great for preparing for the upcoming season.  The new low-profile float is installed in Battery Creek and we recently took delivery of the Patsy McGee.  She is a banana yellow Dirigio 8 man shell that has a history with both the Augusta and Columbia Rowing clubs.  We are currently taking a short break from active rowing due to water temps in the 40's.  When we resume, we should have 3 boats at our new location on Battery Creek.  More updates to come.

Tough Weather month

Today was raining and cold.  5 Showed, no one rowed.  December has not been a good month for rowing so far this year with temps in the 20s and lots of wind.  On other fronts, we excitedly took delivery of our new low-profile Accudock rowing dock which we expect to have installed and ready to go in the next 2 weeks, weather permitting.  Updates and photos to come...

Had Seven in the Eight.  no wind.

Those who did not row today missed perhaps the best water on Morgan River in a very long time. Absolutely not a ripple for the entire row...up and back.
