CRAB Folks, it is really the silly season out there, time for everyone to be on their toes.  Take extra time to look around before launching.  Make sure you are out of other boat's way when waiting to land.  And take a good look when rowing, not only at your own course, but alert others of potential hazards.  Visitors to the river mean that there are lots of folks who think the Head of the Charles course is the way the river should be rowed for a practice piece - and we might have a few home grown folks with the same idea.  If you see someone cutting the corner too tight, say so.  If you see someone not hugging the shore tightly on the big turn, call out to them.  It takes a village to run a river so everyone, help out. Upcoming Events:  October 17and 18 Head of the Charles Regatta, Head of the Charles Course (BU Boathouse to the marker, about 10 strokes past the wooden boardwalk at Herter Park).  Thousands of rowers, hundreds of thousands of spectators, fun had by all. Saturday, October 31 Riverside Boat Club's Peanut Butter Cup Regatta.  Time and Course TBA (the course is weather dependent.  They'll run it from the boathouse to Mass Ave if the weather is good, from the boathouse to Newell Boathouse, upstream of Anderson Bridge, if not).  Don't let the costumes fool you, there are Reeses Peanute Butter Cups for prizes and the racing is fierce.  Beware of lightweights. Sunday, November 7 9:00AM.  CRI's Halloween Regatta.  From the HOCR Finish Line (at the marker about 10 strokes past the wooden boardwalk at Herter Park) to the 3rd dock at CRI. Saturday, November 14, 2015 9:00AM.  Women's Foot of the Charles.  Varsity 8's race first, from Mass Ave Bridge to the Head of the Charles finish line (at the marker about 10 strokes past the wooden boardwalk at Herter Park).  4's and novices race from Riverside to the HOCR finish.  Last set of races should go off around 9:40AM. Sunday, November 15, 2015 8:00AM, Men's Foot of the Charles.  MIT's Newell Boathouse (upstream of the Mass Ave Bridge) to Newell Boathouse (upstream of Anderson Bridge.  Takes about an hour. Anything we missed?  Let us know at CharlesRiverAllianceofBoaters@gm ail.com   For more on the Calendar and information on Boating in the Charles, go to www . CharlesRiverAllianceofBoater s . org
