Just confirmed a meeting spot with my brother for Saturday at the Head Of The Charles Regatta.
The race course starts at the Boston University Boathouse and goes almost immediately under the combination of a railroad trestle bridge and the B.U. Bridge. It then proceeds through 5 (five) triple-arch bridges to the Finish Line approximately 3 miles upstream.
The rowers must remember a lot of rules while rowing approximately 3 miles upstream.
If you don't have a coxswain, don't put your oars over the buoys, even if you are allowed to. Chances are you'll miss one (your hull falls on the wrong side of a buoy), and that's a 10 second penalty. Sometimes buoys drift--be especially alert for that.
Once that last turn is done, stay a little to starboard and make sure you are aimed right between the finish line buoys. Be prepared for a blast of headwind at that point if the wind is from the west.
Once through the line, keep paddling. This is a head race, and stopping at the finish makes officials angry. Keep your eyes about you, because others will stop ahead of you, not thinking.
