BIG Day on Sunday!

Many many thanks go out to our awesome volunteers as we had our largest group of Learn-To-Row newbies come through Popes Island this past Sunday. We had 2 boats running for several hours and kids of all ages along with adults hopped into the boats and gave it a whirl. As the day went on, the winds picked up but our coxswains did a fantastic job steering the boats, and our experienced rowers worked hard to keep the boats on track.

AT&T was on hand again handing out ice cold water, and thankfully, when my phone got soaked with water, Curt Boardman was there to help me bring it back to life. Gotta love those AT&T guys! Ricky Rosario also hopped in the boat to try rowing, and Curt came in the launch with me to keep an eye on the boats. Curt's becoming a mini coach!

We also had fresh coffee and donuts thanks to the Dunkin Donuts at 150 S. Main St. in Acushnet. Mmmm, those were delicious!! Er, I mean, I hear they were.....

Our rowers were truly awesome as we were definitely busy all day long. It was go-go-go but everyone that came through had a really good time and several of the adults signed up for the Learn-to-Row Class that started on Monday. We had a fun time going over safety, equipment, and hopping on the ergs on Monday. They asked some great questions and we did quite a bit of work in just one day! I look forward to seeing them again tonight!
