Today’s planned Halloween-themed entry will be postponed due to snow. In its place, here is a warm picture to help you forget about those early flakes on the ground in October of all times! The Marblehead Rowing Club has a great mission statement: A community based rowing club located on the North shore of Massachusetts whose members share a love for salt water recreational rowing and the spirit of friendship between each other.
The club took part in the Rotary Great Race several months ago with a course that ended at Devereux beach. I found this kayak lying on the sand after finishing its leg of the race and set about trying to capture the feel of the sun and the ocean. I hope you feel the same way for a few moments before leaving the house and braving the cold and dusting of snow on the ground.
Thanks for publishing this photo and comments about Rock N Row. As we enter our layup season preparing for our season end party next Saturday Nov 5 many of us experience a deep longing.
Just for the record, and in our commitment to be clear about who we are and are not, the photo is a rowing shell or single scull NOT a kayak. Kayakers face forward, rowers face backward or as we like to say, “Ass first into the future!”
Thanks for the comment and the correction Paul. And not a bad motto there….
Makes me long for the return of summer. I think our club this season collectively rowed more than 500 miles around this beautiful waters of Marblehead and Salem Bay and raised over $30,000 for worthy charities
