This weekend brings us the world-renowned Head of the Charles Regatta in Boston. Racing kicks off at 8am on both Saturday and Sunday and runs through about 5pm on Saturday and 4pm on Sunday. Many world class athletes come from all over the world to compete in this prestigious regatta. You'll also find many local rowers racing their hearts out along the 3 mile course. There are lots of great spots to watch, most notably from either Anderson Bridge or the Weeks Footbridge. This area is known for its very difficult turns and often sees crashes (yes, crashes. rowing is usually a non-contact sport, but the Charles brings lots of 'extras' into the mix).
It's a great weekend to be in Boston. Plenty of exciting races to watch, the beautiful foliage changing color, and enjoying the fall season before winter comes. I hope to see many of you out there along the shores of the great Charles River!
