Three Weekend Rows
It’s been a while, but I did a double row on Sunday as well.
Dramatic Root Bear Float 2025
We started off floating down the Russian River yesterday with the annual Root Bear Float in two inner tubes that I’ve had for a couple of years. However, shortly into it, Shea’s burst, and like clockwork, mine busted about 15 minutes later. Fortunately, we could depend on the kindness of strangers and tagged a ride on the “Proud Mary” float with Aaron, Billy, Javi, and Christopher, so the day was saved, as we had many more hours left in the ride.

Rough Sunday Morning Row
On Sunday morning the early row had pretty rough conditions, but we persevered. The sun started coming out. You can make out the peaks of Mount Diablo through the clouds in one picture.

Macarena Row
This morning’s coxswain instructions on rowing came with Macarena dance moves and two dolphin sightings, but only one of those is true.

Hopefully I can get this succulent clipping to grow up and look like its Jurassic parent plants!
Sunday Row with Coxswain Training
Chris was at the helm almost the entire time and I stroked (seat 4) for the first time in months.
