Coming up on March 12 is the 2011 Snow Row. It is a 3.5 mile rowing race in Hull, MA. Over a hundred boats in a bunch of different categories. This will be my third year in my 24 foot dory, Rowdeo. It has been decent weather every year so far. I'll get some pictures. This picture is from 2009. Artie Graves and myself.
The Reality
Sat morning it was decent temp, sunny AND blowing 10-20 with gusts up to 35 out of the SW. Half way there we decided the conditions were not worth it and I only went and observed. By the time I got there the wind had not let up but it did shift to the NW. Made for a tough first leg and very tough on the second leg but a nice down wind finish. Everyones times were about ten minutes longer this year. We wil live to race another day. Essex River race May 14th! That was the windy one last year.
