This is one of the rare rowing photos that I’m posting, which I did not take. Deborah was the only lady on the boat on that morning. I’m in the starboard seat one next to our brand new SRC member, Nathan.

Solano Rowing Club End of Season Party
Solano Rowing Club singing sea shanties (say that five times) at last night’s post-season gathering. AJ, Eric, Maria, Karen, Alison, and others were missed! Jim did a great job of getting the long-time organist of the famous Castro Theatre with his talented singer husband to lead us in a bunch of songs. What a nice surprise!
Shea made a butternut squash, leek, and rosemary dish.
20251115 Skills Row
Once again, I got to row with my HSNB fellow board member and veterinarian, Jennifer!
This image shows how we cover the boat when we’re done.
20251004 Row
The early morning Saturday row included a 35-minute marathon, which kicked our butts, but at least we got to see a seal pop its head and fins up about six times!

Triple Weekend Rows
On Saturday, during my second row, which was the Skills Boat, we had four new or relatively new rowers, as well as a coxswain in training. It’s exciting to see new interest!
On Sunday we had a big stinky tanker (fuel) pass us by this morning when we rowed.
In this video from Saturday, I tried to capture some of the “rollers” that we get on the whaleboat from time to time when there’s a wake from a passing ship or speedboat, but nothing dramatic was captured in this short video. It’s still a perspective most Bay Area folks will never get from the water, though.

Richard was there for coxswain training and did a marvelous job!
