Sunday morning row with my new Cultivate Food Co-op shirt. It was overcast and a touch cooler than yesterday, but the water was a LOT calmer and lake-like.

First Day of September Row
Starting off the holiday weekend on the water
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!
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
Yes there are giraffes!
Borderline windy Saturday morning row
Sailboat Regatta in the Strait
There was the usual summer evening sailboat regatta while we were rowing last night. There were also several outriggers, so we were in good company on the water on a very warm evening.
