Re: (CRAB) This Weekend on the Charles, and the coming week too.

How could I forget?  

The tripple octuple....tri octuple... octuple(3).... ok, that sculling boat that seats 24 plus cox will also be on the Charles Saturday, post HOK, pretty much all day.

and confirmed, CRI is extending the scary season.  The Halloween Regatta is on November 7.  Sorry to doubt them since they are really good about posting their events.

OK folks, rowing season on the Charles is about to hit its peak, and sailors are still out there in numbers, and racing too.  Lots of visitors will be coming to the river to run through the Head of the Charles course.  If they launch from YOUR boathouse, please make every effort to tell them what they need to know about safety on the river (like they need to stay to the right, and they don't get to cross the center line heading into Weeks, or Anderson, or Eliot).  But expect others to show up and wet-launch or use the docks at Herter Park to take a trip down the course - so keep your eyes open.

Formal and informal EVENTS!

 Saturday, October 10, 2015
7:00AM Heads of the Kevin III, on the Head of the Charles course (BU Boathouse to the finish marker, about 10 strokes past the boardwalk at Herter Park).  This is the final of the best 2 out of 3 series run by Riverside Boat Club as an in house (with approved guests) informal regatta.  They endeavor to run as many people down the course to make the river more bearable at other times, while not letting it get so big as to be a big problem.  Still, you want to avoid it.

10AM to 2PMish.  Riverside Men's sweep scrimmages Williams College,
on the Head of the Charles Course and possibly in shorter pieces.  Only about 4 boats.
Sunday, October 11, 2015
Noon.  Head of the Quinnobequin Youth Singles Regatta.  Eliot Bridge to North Beacon St. Bridge.  Expect 120+ kids all in singles, between 11 and 18 years of age.  Canoe/Kayakers in Brighton are asked to launch heading downstream until the course clears.  Powerboaters are asked to NOT travel the course during the race (approximately Noon to 1:00PM).  Also expect these kids to be launching from various boathouses from around 11:00AM, and heading back after about 1:00PM and as late as 2:00PM.  Impressive event, come spectate!
October 17/18
All Day.  Head of the Charles Regatta.  Thousands of rowers, hundreds of thousands of spectators.  Fun had by all.
October 31, 2015
7AM?  Peanut Butter Cup.  Have heard a rumor that Riverside will run their costumed Peanut Butter Cup, but no details yet.  Usually runs Mass Ave to Anderson which is good because.....
9AM?  Halloween Regatta.  CRI has this on the Calendar for November 7, but because of the name, it might have been put on the wrong date.  Run from HOCR finish (the post about 10 strokes above the wooden boardwalk at Herter Park) to CRI.

******CRI and RBC please make sure you coordinate on this one.
November 7, 2015
9am possible Halloween Regatta, HOCR finish to CRI.
November 15, 2015.
8:00AM.  Men's Foot of the Charles.
 Mass Ave to Newell Boathouse (above Anderson Bridge).
And the women's foot?  Anyone?
