    Hi Everyone!

    To kick off the coming the season, and allay concerns about how to get in one's volunteer hours, we've scheduled the Rowing Spring Soapsuds and Schmooze party (formerly known as the Spring Rowing Work Party) for Sunday, March 12th, 10AM - noon.

    We'll be doing the following:

    • Cleaning the boats: Echos, Liteboats, Maas Aeros, and the Wintech Double. Weather permitting, we'll also wax.
      • Yes, the Double will be back, repaired and, after we give it our TLC, ready to go!
      • The Liteboats have also been repaired recently, so they'll also be wanting some post-op attention.
    • Cleaning locks, oars, fixing what needs it, and saving what can't be done that day for another.
    Please bring a pair of gloves for washing, as we're not using Palmolive ("slightly" dated).

    And don't worry about not knowing what to do, or how to do it: "Management" will make the event hum with efficiency and pop, if not with their entertainment skills then certainly with the tunes they'll be bringing.

    So hit that Register button before the spaces are gone!

    PS: if you're not a Fleet Captain or Director, register as a Volunteer.

    This Checkout is for new members with previous rowing experience who want to use the fleet: as such, it is a prerequisite to using the rowing craft. It is also recommended for those who haven't been on the water in a while and wish to refresh their general knowledge of handling the Echos.

    We will be getting on the water and rowing, so please dress appropriately.

    The Checkout covers:

    • Overview of the Echo fleet
    • Policies and practices
    • Signing out and use of logbooks
    • Rigging and de-rigging
    • Launching and landing
    • Distance rowing: where to go, tides, wind/waves, currents, hazards
    • Self-rescue: i.e. getting back into the boat from deep water

    The self-rescue is done at the end of the Checkout; as it typically involves spending about three minutes in the water, you may wish to bring a wetsuit. 

    New members must demonstrate a successful self-rescue to pass the Checkout. Therefore, depending on the outcome of the Checkout, you may be asked to take an Introductory Lesson
