We opened the new Boathouse and Filter Building last year, added boats to our masters and Junior Crew fleets, masters coaching was offered and it paid off in some very respectable performances at regattas and the SWEAT.
Our Junior Crew continues to grow and improve under the very able direction of Coach Ryan White. More summer recruiting camps will be held.
We have plans for even more new programs this spring and summer. Physiological testing based training schedules for various rowing goals, nutritional counseling for weight loss and/or performance, individual masters coaching, and video sessions will be offered on an a la carte basis.
Our erg workouts will be scheduled and supervised and the workouts will be offered for specific goals; weight loss, general aerobic fitness, strength building, improved race times. Look for some supervised big boat workouts for Masters as soon as Daylight Savings Time returns in early March.
And of course, Sinko de Mayo is not too far off.
Your membership is valued and appreciated. It not only provides you with a great fitness and athletic resource at a very reasonable cost, it also helps support our very worth-while public school crew. Indications are that we will be asked to provide more scholarships this year as economic conditions continue to deteriorate. So please renew your membership and consider a tax-deductible contribution above and beyond club dues.

I was getting misled on wind comditions, and a comparison of the old and new stations shows that the old one is busted (I think).
If others use this, let me know what you think.
]]>George brought Weather Underground to our attention. Some especially nice features are the graphic wind speed and direction indicator and the chart of wind speed and gusts for the last five minutes.
See the link under “Weather” in the navigation at left.
Here’s a sample of what the main information on the page looks like (a little smaller than life size). There is also lots of other historical data as you scroll down the (Weather Underground) page.
The docks with House boats on them start with the Number 1 which has the double on it just to the right of the entry door. The first dock with Aeros and 24’s is Dock No. 2, and so forth as you move into the House. Each dock number is posted on the doors that face the parking lot.
Even numbered docks have boats oriented with the bow in, or closest to the parking lot. The BOW is the end of the boat opposite the skeg and has a BOWBALL on the end of it.
Odd numbered docks are stern in - the skegs should be toward the front of the House which faces the parking lot.
Now, remembering where you got your boat from is what Sam’s worked out. On the rigging of all the club boats are two wraps of colored tape. These colors match the colors Sam’s painted the PVC rub rails that are installed on either side of the slip on the back side of the House. Just match the colors when you come in to find your dock and then look on the doors for whether or not you are on an odd or even numbered dock.
Piece of cake.
