Quick and dirty email this week.  Time to be very cooperative as the river heats up for the big, fall events.  Lets all help each other out there....

Event Calendar

 Saturday, October 15, 2016
7:00AM to 8:15AM,  Heads of the Kevin III.  Head of the Charles course (BU Rowing Boathouse to the shiney, new finish line marker, about 10 strokes above the wooden boardwalk at Herter Park), 3rd and largest installment of this best 2 of 3 event.  Please stay way off the course while this events runs a whole lot of people up the river - and then you will have far lest people to contend with.  Please, no jumping in - it screws up the timing.


Sunday, October 16, 2016
Noon to 1:15PM, Head of the Quinnobequin Youth Single Sculling Regatta (Eliot Bridge to North Beacon St. Bridge).  Everyone is asked to stay off the course as 150 kids, as young as 11, race singles.  Lots of launches on hand but still, you do not want to be in the middle of this event, which moves off the line fairly quickly.  Be advised, it gets very messy from about 11:15 AM on in the warm up area (Anderson Bridge to Eliot Bridge), and after the race, kids pull in to CRI for refreshments and awards, then many of them row back to boathouses as far away as Riverside.  Read: use caution if you're on the water.  This is a great spectator event too, so head to a bridge and cheer the kids on...
Next Weekend (Oct. 22, 23)
All Day, both Days, Head of the Charles Regatta aka:  Rower Christmas.  Need we say more.  Thousands of rowers from all over the world, including everyone's 'old country' and many of the local rowers you have come to know and love, all vying to put on their podium pants.  Come join the fun.
