Exciting News

Next Saturday I will be going to Station L to do some rowing. I'm way pumped. I haven't been in a boat since May of last year.

I'm hoping to meet some people at the club too. It will be a good chance for me to get more of a social life, something I'm certainly wanting and needing.

I can't wait to feel the slide under me, smoothly rolling back and forth, the oar in my hands; the feel of a good, clean catch and my legs pressing my feet into the foot-stretchers, the swing of my back and a fast finish followed by "quick hands away" and an easy recovery up to the next catch. Then do it all over again 20-30 times a minute.

Seeing the pictures on the Station L website also got me really excited. I was taken back to the Severn on those chilly fall mornings when you can see Venus, and the sunrise is falling upon the smooth water.
