Big thanks to all the newbies and volunteers who made the first week of Adult LTR a success.
Photos from the first two classes can be found at the link below. And subsequent class photos can be found in the Photo tab.
The nights are getting cooler and the days are getting shorter, so you know what that means? Time to start thinking about fall racing.
Below is a very tentative race schedule. You can still continue to row with us, even if you have no intention of racing.
Because the sun will be setting earlier and earlier, we will only be rowing coxed boats on the weekdays in the fall. That means we will focus on bigger boats (fours and eights) for racing.

What an amazing day for racing! Our hosts, Shen Rowing, really lucked out with the weather and they put on a great regatta. Kudos to them!
Congratulations to all those who came out to race and a big thank you to all those who came out to support us. For some of us, it was our first sprint race in a long time, for others it was their first sprint race ever. I know for at least one in our group, it was his first race…. ever!

Oh, if you see Amy S. and/or Steve V. ask them about their experience with Scotia Fried Pigeon. 🙂
Wanted to give you a quick THANK YOU for helping out tomorrow! We’ve got almost 20 people already signed up that want to try out rowing so let’s give them a FANTASTIC day of it!!
Here’s our schedule:
If you have any family/friends that signed up to learn to row – let me know and I can make sure you are boated together!
Thank you again – looking forward to seeing everyone tomorrow! Donica,danderson@bhrow.com
Please help spread the word! Have your family and friends who have sparked an interest in rowing come to the boathouse for a 90 minute introduction to our world. This includes a tour/history of our program, quick erg lesson, review of the boat and then an hour on the water with our Coaches.
There are sessions at 9:00, 10:00, and 11:00 AM and an opportunity to secure a seat ahead of time: http://bhrow.com/learn-to-row
Volunteers! In order to make this the best experience for our new rowers, we need your help!
Here is how the day will play out:
Please contact me with any questions – but in the meantime, please help us spread the word about our awesome sport! Donica danderson@bhrow.com . Thank you!!

A big thank you to all that showed up and pitched in yesterday! Docks are in, three launches in the water, and the Boathouse and grounds look amazing. (photo credit to BHRA President, Brandon Cheely)
We will continue indoor training for at least another week. So this week we will have a normal Monday, Wednesday, Saturday practice.
On Saturday, there will be no lifting. If a couple of people want to stick around, we can clean up and get a couple of boats ready to go.
I will try to open up Spring registration this week. I am still waiting on official approval to row eights. Fingers crossed we’ll be on the water April 5th.
Saturday March 27th – Docks In
A reminder to our rowing community, we have our annual “docks in day” this Saturday the 27th.
We will need many hands to get all of our docks set up, launches ready, and clean around the outside and inside of the boathouse.
If you’re coming to help with docks, wear something that can get wet! Docks work begins at 9:00am.
If you’re coming to assist with other cleanup and maintenance, that will start at 10:00am. Bring rakes and work gloves if you’d like. We ask that everyone wear a mask, and we will do standard temperature checks like we do with our rowers every day.
Sunday March 28th – Open Boathouse!
There will be an open Boathouse from 1pm to 3pm on Sunday.
If you know anyone (6th grade to 12th grade and all adults), that are interested in rowing, please have them come down!
For our current adult rowers, if you ever wanted to show your friends and family were you send all your time in the summer, here is your chance!
VOLUNTEERS NEEDED!
Docks in day, Saturday 3/27
Please come down to the boathouse to help!
Tasks include assisting with docks, outdoor clean up such as cleaning garden beds, indoor cleaning and organizing!
For the Masters, time and weather permitting, I would like to get the UMass Lowell and Esperti in slings and perform some mainatince and cleaning.
Many hands make light work.
Let’s get on the water ASAP.
Email or text volunteers@bhrow.com or 518 331 6486 with RSVP.
Any amount of time is welcome, start at 10 am!
