And big thanks to Bob, Ernie, Craig and others who have kept us on the water through this wet and unpredictable season!
Have a great winter.

As of Friday, Nov 5, the Yankee Rowing Club season for rowing club boats is closed.? The water temperature is below 50F, the air temperature is almost always below 50F.? ?Some nights are below freezing, which will freeze the water in the hose for washing boats.? And although it will of course subside, the river is too high at the moment.
The boathouse will be accessible during the winter, though at some point the water in the bathrooms will be turned off.
Also, in the coming weeks, we will move some boats from the outdoor rack into the boathouse.? ?We may not have room for all of them.? If you have a boat on the rack and a way to store it elsewhere for the winter, it would be very helpful if you could move it soon.? You may leave your boat on the rack for the winter if you wish.
I want to warmly thank you all for, as a group, running the club smoothly. We have some conventions and a few rules, but the real strength of the club is everyone's cheerful cooperation.??
