Head of the Charles River

If you happen to be in Boston this weekend and you like rowing, check out the regatta. My daughter will be competing for Georgia State. If you're like me and not in Boston... well, they will have a live webcast!!

Good Luck to your Daughter. You are justified to be proud of her accomplishments.

Good luck Becky's daughter!

But I think that's Arthur Fedler's head,
not Charles River's.

Chuck's may not not have been memorialized.

BUT there is a river named after ... uh... him.

Right. "Head of the Charles River" 

nevermind. 

Oh my, Writch... you want to guide me through the afterlife?? Queue up the Grateful Dead...

Good luck to her...and won't it be cold?

Thanks! Janie, I think it's colder here than in Boston! Go figure. It was 39 this morning... what happened to fall??

After our summer...I'm ready for it!

My daughter's race starts in 5 minutes! I have the webcast up... hopefully we'll get to see her as she rows down the Charles River!!

The announcer has a very British accent... at least it sounds British to me... so proper!!

How exciting!

Row. Steady. State.

Row. Steady. State.

I got to see her crew as the boat went under Eliot Bridge... don't know the time yet...

This is the Eliot Bridge on the Charles River... I found this pic on the web...

Pretty...

Well... they finished 23 out of 33... the time was 21:38. It was 5 kilometer race. My daughter is the one with the headband on...

Here is their boat as they approached the Eliot Bridge...

I like this pic... my daughter is the third from the left... Row. Steady. State.

Great pics!

Thanks, Janie!

Another regatta this weekend... The Head of Hooch... in Chattanooga on the Tennessee River... My daughter's crew came in first in the Women's College and Club Novice 4+... their time was 19:12 for the 5K race... Congrats!! We watched from the bridge as they crossed finish line... Awesome!
