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.
