Green Lake Spring Regatta

The crew gathered in Green Lake early this morning to unload and rig the shells to get ready for the regatta. Thank you to Kevin who drove the trailer down to Green Lake and demonstrated his driving skills to exit the trailer parking lot, as well as to the non-competing Lake Stevens Rowing Club members who turned to support the Club.

Some of our racers were novice rowers, but there were no novice categories in the regatta. They had to compete with more experienced rowers instead. Some shared that the experience was helpful and provided perspective for the next regatta.

Congratulations to all of the racers regardless of how they placed and to Coach Barb whose knowledge and dedication brought Club to where we are today.

Those that placed from the Club were:

• Jim and Bruce: 1st, men's double

• Kaja, Michele, Bonnie, and Elizabeth: 1st, women's quad

• Isabella, Meghan, Charisse, and Trish: 2nd, women's quad

• Kaja and Elizabeth: 2nd, women's double

• Daan, Bruce, Henry, and Jim: 3rd, men's quad

• Kaja, Bruce, Meghan, and Jim: 1st, mixed quad

Loading the Trailer for Green Lake

Yesterday evening the crew gathered to prep the shells needed for the Green Lake regatta and load them onto the trailer. Many hands make light work. They make it look so easy. A quad shell can weight up to 200 pounds.
