First, a few quick reminders:
If you are hosting a crew visiting the River, whether for college racing, a run down the HOCR course, or for a poker run, please take the time to prep visitors for the Charles River boating environment. We are far busier than most other bodies of water, and even when you warn folks, evidence would suggest that they don't really take it to heart. Please make sure that they understand the consequences of not using caution and following the established traffic pattern. College crews (and club's that host visiting crews) are especially asked to take care with this task.
We'd also like to remind folks to please, be aware of your surroundings. The good folks of Cambridge Boat Club were thankfully aware this morning, and spotted an individual in need of their help. Hats off to them for taking the time to lend a hand. But in years past, other incidents including some lewd behavior has taken place on the banks, and boat clubs have been robbed. Please keep your eyes open. Get a waterproof case for your cellphone so that you can alert the authorities should you witness something take place. We all like to be able to focus on our water time, but sometimes, we have to put that aside and help.
