Re: Rio Saldo Rowing Camp
Hey Mike- I know Lesleh from her Masters Coaching days. She’s awesome! ?I can only imagine the great trip you must have had!?
And I try to remember how lucky we are to be able to row regularly on great water.?

? Hello Yankee Friends,
I was really missing the water this winter, so I booked a trip to a clinic last week in Tempe, AZ at Rio Salado? The coaches were fantastic and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking to book something next winter.?
Lesleh Wright was the main coach, she runs clinics all over the world, SteeringUwright.com is her website.?
I will have to say that although?the weather is better (not last week though!) our little stretch of the CT river is heaven compared to rowing in canals in the 'city'
See you on the river soon!!

? Hi all - Mark and I took this yoga class last night and it was excellent - solid, enjoyable strengthening/stretching yoga with a great emphasis on application to masters athletes in general and rowers in particular. The instructor, as a PT, is very knowledgeable and wove in some excellent info/explanations/tips about specific muscle groups and physiology. And, of course, it was fun to "meet" other rowers....a nice medium-size zoom group of friendly, welcoming folks from near and far. Recommend! - Ellen

Used rowing shell looking for a good home
Hello Scullers -- Our friend EB Lehman sent this notice of a free Alden on Cape Cod. I'm copying her on this message in case anyone wants more information. Stay warm -- Robin Robin Barber Gallery of Readers Press cell 4*3-695-5343 land 4*3-585-8530 16 Vernon Street Northampton, MA 01060-2862 Hello Carol & Robin,?? Greetings, friends!
A friend of mine on the Cape has a used rowing shell (an ocean shell, it seems) and rigging (see photos) which belonged to her dad. He died a few years ago, and his?boat is in need of a new owner and?home. Might this boat be of any interest to...you? Yankee Rowing? Some other lucky soul who wants a free boat??
I don't know when it was built but I think it's in good shape, sea-worthy, etc. It is on the Cape.? xoxo EB

I prefer my model B from 1987.
They have one at PVRC.? I prefer the model D? Nick ? Does anyone know where I might be able to work out a Concept 2 Dynamic ERG locally??
I'm looking to finally pull the trigger on purchasing a new machine and I'd like to try the dynamic before buying the D model.?
I'm in no rush.
