This should be our last scheduled communication of the year.  Thank you to everyone who helped us communicate all the formal and informal events on the river, as well as unexpected hazards and happenings.  From now until, oh, March or so, we'll only be communicating on an as-needed basis.  If you have something coming up that you want to alert or invite the River to, just let us know.  If you're still on the water, use good judgement.  The smaller your boat, the more friends you should have near by.  Dress in layers.  And look out for each other.

Upcoming Events.

 Saturday, November 19, 2016
8:00AM - CBC timed scrimmmage (aka, the Row-off).  Races from Cambridge Boat Club (Eliot Bridge) to River St. Bridge and back using the right hand arches.  Be especially careful at the turning point.  Good luck to all racers.

A friendly yet stern Rowing Traffic Pattern reminder about the Powerhouse bridges (and those are River and Western ONLY):  Center arches remail UPSTREAM ONLY from 5am to 1pm, then go back to BI-DIRECTIONAL  after 1pm.  This remains in effect until Thanksgiving.
One note about this....just because the center arches are dedicated upstream, boats should still TAKE CARE TO NOT CROSS THE CENTER LINE of the river.  And of course, keep your eyes peeled for power boaters as they use the center arches bi-directionally.

Upcoming Events.

Saturday, November 5, 2016
  • 8:30AM, BU/MIT/Harvard pairs head race, from Longfellow Bridge to the 2k finish (below the BU Rowing Boathouse),   Roughly 35 pairs expected.  Thanks to BU for the heads up.

  • 7AM Possible UBC race???? I don't have details on course.  Hopefully, this is coordinated with the event above.
Sunday, November 6, 2016 
  • 9AM, Headless Halloween Regatta.  HOCR finish line to CRI.
  • I'm also hearing rumors of a Weld scullers regatta?  If someone could supply course and race times, it would be appreciated.  If it is an interclub thing and others are not welcome, just let us know.  It is nice to warn folks when there is an event to avoid.
