Remember a lot of rules while rowing approximately 3 miles upstream

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.

The 47'th Head of the Charles Regatta

The race is to be held from October 22, 2011 through October 23, 2011.

Head Of The Charles Regatta, the world's largest two-day rowing event, was first held on October 16, 1965. The race was established by the Cambridge Boat Club members D'Arcy MacMahon, Howard McIntyre, and Jack Vincent, with the advice of Harvard University sculling instructor Ernest Arlett. Arlett proposed that a "head of the river" race similar in tradition to races held in his native England, be held on the Charles River. "Head" races, a class of regattas, are generally three miles long-boats race against each other and the clock, starting sequentially approximately fifteen seconds apart. Winners of each race receive the honorary title of "Head of the River" or, in this case, "Head Of The Charles."Head Of The Charles Regatta, the world's largest two-day rowing event, was first held on October 16, 1965.

We can still win this!

Belief is often stronger when it should be weakest.

Such is the nature of hope.

Play light with important things

Pet specialists believe that toys for rabbits are necessities. I'm not a rabbit, but my toys are pretty important to me.

Good toys engage a child's interest and passion for fun, while they develop his physical, mental, and emotional self. Children exercise their muscles with toys.

They say that we become a child, or at least child-like, again in our old age.

Unfortunately, for many of us, old age means a reduction in money. How many of us have gotten old and realized that our basements and garages are full of broken, rusted toys? You now may have the time to play, but the laws of physics and nature would not allow those toys to wait for our interest to return.

We no longer have dreams of 400 yard drives on the golf course. Just walking 6,000 yards in the sun is an accomplishment. You can remember the day, twenty years ago, when you stuck those expensive golf clubs in the back of the shed. Maybe tender loving care and a few cans of rust remover, can bring them back to life.

The motion of the blade through the water resists the athlete's effort

As a rower applies force to an oar, the motion of the blade through the water resists the athlete's effort and generates the load the rower feels.

Unpainted and unmarked blades leave your oars vulnerable to theft, so it is recommend that you paint your club colors or personal design very soon after you receive them. If your preferred color or design happens to be plain white, you should visibly mark some area on the oars to distinguish your ownership.

You hear the banter of the coxes

Spring brings the thawing of the Charles River and brighter mornings.

As the mornings become warmer, spectators will have their spots along the banks of the Charles, on docks and on the car bridges crossing from Cambridge, Massachusetts. From almost any spot you hear the banter of the coxes, the cutting of the water by oars, or the slapping of the water when some of the boats make their way to the starting line.
