Testosterows Could be a Thing
Our coxswain asked for name suggestions for the men’s team, so I’m still floating “TestoteROWS.” Why not?
This morning’s excitement was when the Army Corp of Engineers military-style catamaran zig-zagged up to us and asked if we in the WHALEboat saw a dead whale floating around. The irony!

It was interesting to get pictures of the bluffs over which Shando and I just hiked the night before to see the sunset. It certainly gives one perspective.
Glen Cove Sunset Hike November 2023
Kayaking with Giraffes, Swans and Dogs….oh my
This has some of the best footage of the giraffes I’ve taken to date. The two giraffe pictures below are from other kayakers.
Last Weeknight Row of the Year
Glorious Sunset Row
Giraffeless Kayaking
More kayaking with the dogs, although it was the first time the giraffes were not in view. For those who are interested in kayaking at Dan Foley Park’s Lake Chabot here in Vallejo (there is another Lake Chabot in Castro Valley, where I used to live), the Six Flags giraffes are almost always eating when we kayak past them. Cappy and Polar were probably bored again, but they are now used to being on the kayak with me and getting water dripped on them while we enjoy the fresh air and vistas from the water.
Evening Whaleboat Row
Rowing in the Gloaming
We saw another porpoise this evening when we rowed, but I didn’t have my camera ready at that time. I still got some nice shots of the gloaming. The last two pictures were courtesy of fellow rower Darren.
