My Rowers ROCK

So we had our last class for our morning adult Learn-To-Row today and they were awesome. We had exactly 9 people show up (I love it when the numbers work out) and Patrick Kielty came to check things out again. Patrick even got in the boat to cox!! (He's NOT short, folks)

We had a great practice, and did the stand-up drill. The idea of standing straight up in the boat was met with skepticism as expected, but they got it and performed the drill very well. Then we had them progress onto rowing by ALL 8 ON THE FEATHER! It was a sort of 'graduation' and they all earned their figurative tassel.

We've got lots of people signing up for the next class so they'll just keep getting better and better. They're moving along pretty well and by the time we form teams, they'll be fantastic!
