Re: (CRAB) What's happening on the Charles

A few updates to the calendar.

This Saturday's 9:00AM Peanut Butter Cup Regatta will be preceded by the Armada Cup at 7:30AM.  This is a race that goes from the 2k start (just upstream of the Longfellow Bridge) to the HOCR Finish (about 10 strokes past the wooden boardwalk at Herter Park).  Should be small.

And the November 7th Headless Halloween Regatta (great name) does not have a traditional entry fee -   Rowers should race in costume and bring a brunch item to share.

Hi Folks,
 
Saturday, October 31, 2015
9:00AM, Riverside Boat Club's Peanut Butter Cup Regatta.
 Starts at Riverside, rounds a stake somewhere between Weeks and Anderson bridges, and back to Riverside.  Don't let the costumes fool you, there are big bags of peanut butter cups on the line, and the competition is fierce.  Mixed doubles only.

Time?  Allegedly, some version of Riverside's Armada Cup is also running on a longer course for singles and possibly other boats.  No info on that.  Keep your eyes open.

9:00AM, Community Rowing's Halloween Regatta.
 Head of the Charles finish line to the 3rd dock at CRI.  All are welcome and there is an entry fee.

November 14, 2015.  
9:00AM Women's Foot of the Charles.
 V8's racing from Mass Ave to the HOCR Finish line (arguably the best spectator event of the year).  9:30 and 9:40AM, Frosh 8's and V 4's race from Riverside to the HOCR Finish

November 15, 2015
8:00AM Men's Foot of the Charles.
 MIT's Pierce Boathouse (rowing boathouse, above Mass Ave) to Harvard's Newell Boathouse (upstream of Anderson).  

 

Two quick public service announcements

1.  Daylight savings disappears this week, along with afternoon sun.  Roll your clock back and enjoy the extra sleep.
2.  Tuesday is a municipal election day.  Boathouse are on public land.  Do your club a favor and get out and vote, especially if it is a sleep election in your area.  That will land you on a super voter list, and give you club lots of clout should they ever need help from their local Rep. or Senator.
