Hi Ernie,

I am in the same situation - much as I enjoyed being a part of the Yankee Rowing club for several years, I am no longer there…

and hope that you can take me off the email lists.

All best,

Jane B.

Yankee Rowers,

It got quite chilly last night, and this morning there was frost on the
dock and on the wooden ramp going down to the dock. It was quite
slippery in places. So, as it gets colder in the coming days, please be
extra careful using the ramp and dock. (The hardtop portion of the ramp
doesn't get frost as readily. So, when there is frost on the ramp, it
may be a bit safer to use the hardtop going down to the dock.)

Best,
Ernie

I just wanted to give a shout out to our boatman, Craig Schiff.? Days?after the club Fluid 2X experienced a dislodged skeg and damaged skeg box (from a collision with a floating log), Craig arranged for transport of the shell on a UMASS trailer destined for the Head of the Charles regatta.? Craig had contacted Fluid Design, which would also be at the regatta, and they indicated they may well be able to repair the skeg box and reset the skeg including laser alignment during the regatta weekend.? Craig went to the race and arranged transfer of the shell to the Fluid tent, then back to the UMASS trailer the next day.? The Fluid 2X is fully repaired and back home.? All at no expense to Yankee.

Boathouse towels?

Several of the boathouse towels have been missing for a while. (Perhaps some one took them home
to wash them?) If you have them, please drop them off when you get a chance. Thanks very much.
