Very early morning! Solano Rowing Club’s Women’s Team could not be stopped. With the rain, wind, and cold they moved to Benicia 9th Street Pier from Glen Cove Marina disembarking at 6am.
I was the bowhook in case someone needed relief, but they kicked ass so I got a free ride. I was happy to be there to help our teams get ready for the next race.
While waiting at the Vallejo Yacht Club I felt the 11:12am earthquake from the East Bay, one day after a rare New Jersey centered earthquake was felt by tens of millions of people in the New York City area.
The above pictures were taken by me. My fellow rowers took the these:
We actually had a full rainbow on this day, which you can see in two of these pictures if you look carefully.
Thursday night practice had some excitement with a very cool fogbow, which I just learned is a type of rainbow.
Wednesday night row included a shot of la Tour Eiffel avec Mount Diablo in the background.
Videos of Bonnie’s first time at Dan Foley Park and Lake Chabot for a kayak ride. I’ll forgive her for falling asleep. I guess the rocking was soothing to her. Snoopy’s a veteran and jumped up on the kayak when I got in.
Some excitement included a fellow rower dropping her phone in the water and a certified diver fellow rower jumped in to try to dig for it! The photo doesn’t capture enough, but it’s worth the memory!
We also did a towing exercise where we towed each other’s whale boats. It’s more complicated than one might think!
