New Year’s Day Whaleboat Row

Yes, it was hard to get up for a 7:50 am row after staying up past midnight. To boot my scooter didn’t fully charge because I plugged it into a deactivated power strip, so I barely made it downhill (gravity helped). The weather and the water conditions were optimal. We even saw a seal pop up to breathe a few times.

Scooter Trip to Glen Cove Marina

Take electric scooter to marina to avoid driving car? CHECK!

This was one of my ideas for a clean energy trip back and forth to the Glen Cove Marina. I had to use a little foot power to help myself on the inclines since the scooter slowed down to almost nothing, but I didn’t need to drive my SUV to go to the marina. Plus I got to store the scooter safely on the dock while we went out on the rowboat!

It was a pretty cold morning, but we’ve had worse! Had to catch this mega-ship behind us as we rowed.
