Well, not quite. But we’re getting caught up on photos, thanks to the persistence of Arne. Check out the latest at the Photo Gallery.

If you have Boathouse photos you’d like posted, please size and compress them to 800x600 or 600x800 and email them to your webmaster.

Check out your fellow rowers in street clothes and party moods. In the gallery.

If anyone has other photos from the festivities to be posted, please let me know.

The Pumpkin Head of the Colorado will be held on October 28 this year. Information is available at Regatta Central, but the event web site has not been updated for 2006 yet.

Registration starts September 1.

Our web site has been updated with details. See the Events page. 

The regatta director for this event, Mike Knopp, says that they are expanding this traditionally college team event to juniors and masters. It looks like quite a festival: Knopp says that in addition to the 2.5 mile head race, the regatta this year will feature “the first night racing in America with 500 meter super sprints.  We will have a professional timing system, jumbo tron, and many additional features to that make this event truly unique.  The US National Team Men’s and Women’s 8s will also be present.”
