Thursday night practice had some excitement with a very cool fogbow, which I just learned is a type of rainbow.

Our Own Tour Eiffel
Wednesday night row included a shot of la Tour Eiffel avec Mount Diablo in the background.
Snoopy and Bonnie Kayaking at Dan Foley
Videos of Bonnie’s first time at Dan Foley Park and Lake Chabot for a kayak ride. I’ll forgive her for falling asleep. I guess the rocking was soothing to her. Snoopy’s a veteran and jumped up on the kayak when I got in.
Friday, Saturday and Sunday whaleboat rows
This video was taken by my friend Slater. I would be the far left stroke in this boat.
Rowing Between Rainstorms
Three Rows This Weekend
Some excitement included a fellow rower dropping her phone in the water and a certified diver fellow rower jumped in to try to dig for it! The photo doesn’t capture enough, but it’s worth the memory!
We also did a towing exercise where we towed each other’s whale boats. It’s more complicated than one might think!
Through the Fog
Despite the heavy fog this morning and the overcast that lingered most of the day, our second row today yielded some actual sun, so it was really worth pulling out the camera.
Holiday Party for Rowing Club
Party with Solano Rowing Club here in Glen Cove, Vallejo with a bunch of our plus ones yesterday. We had the debut of an amazing video (below) that incorporated a bunch of our pictures over the past year.
New Year’s Day Whaleboat Row
Yes, it was hard to get up for a 7:50 am row after staying up past midnight. To boot my scooter didn’t fully charge because I plugged it into a deactivated power strip, so I barely made it downhill (gravity helped). The weather and the water conditions were optimal. We even saw a seal pop up to breathe a few times.
Scooter Trip to Glen Cove Marina
Take electric scooter to marina to avoid driving car? CHECK!
This was one of my ideas for a clean energy trip back and forth to the Glen Cove Marina. I had to use a little foot power to help myself on the inclines since the scooter slowed down to almost nothing, but I didn’t need to drive my SUV to go to the marina. Plus I got to store the scooter safely on the dock while we went out on the rowboat!
It was a pretty cold morning, but we’ve had worse! Had to catch this mega-ship behind us as we rowed.
