First Day of September Row

Starting off the holiday weekend on the water
Backyard Time with Boyfriend
We enjoy our backyard time in the egg swings. My legs are scratched up from gardening at the Wellfleet house.
Double Row Sunday
Double rowing this morning kicked my ass, but it felt great to get a serious workout. We got some closeups of the train through Crockett and the C&H Sugar Factory with the docked ship.
Fire at Glen Cove Marina
About 7 am there was a fire in a boat at Glen Cove Marina as we were getting ready to go out with the whaleboats. People were asleep inside, but fortunately, the battery that caught fire did not hurt anyone as far as we could tell in the end. The couple in the boat only bought it a few months ago. I don’t know what damage was done, but I’m glad we were up and rowing nearby to smell and see the smoke. The fire truck arrived after we called 9-1-1. Solano Rowing Club saves the day!
Spontaneous afternoon pool and BBQ time
Spontaneous afternoon pool and BBQ time with friends. We also got to practice our Spanish with Angelo from Santiago, Chile, a friend of Howard’s.
Double Sunday Row with Shea
Double row this morning, including a choppy “skills” row with Shea in the boat. I was Port Stroke, which was I think the first time ever in that position. We made it most of the way across the Carquinez Strait to the C&H Sugar Factory.

Kayaking with Daughter and Shea
Only Snoopy is with us because Bonnie is still recovering from her major surgery.
Before the kayaks were ready we also took a hike.
Yes there are giraffes!
Lazybear 2024 Root Bear Float
Turtle spotting, duck invading, country-music-playing float with a bunch of queers down the Russian River only to finish off with someone on a paddleboard moving forward with a dog onboard!
Shea commentated on his video with director mode:
