End of YRC Season 2023 - Too Soon! 3
Hello Fellow YRC Members! Anita and I are writing to let you know that YRC 2023 rowing season officially closed. Ernie¡¯s water temp check reflects that the water is now 47 degrees, and the forecast for the next 10 days doesn't offer hope of things warming up much. This means that club boats are no longer available. Private boat owners can row of course, though we urge caution. As we reflect on the season, one cannot help but recognize the good fortune of being able to row on such a beautiful body of water. We are also so fortunate to have another year¡¯s use of a great little boathouse that is such a great home for our boats and meeting place for all who love this incredible sport. This year also brought surprises that impacted our ability to row - like flood waters that haven¡¯t been seen in years and even sewage. (Blick!) Sadly, it was a shorter season than usual. This year also included the loss of a longtime YRC member, Andy Larkin. He will always be a part of the beauty and flow of the river. May he rest in peace. Finally, we want to express gratitude and thanks to Craig who has tirelessly contributed countless hours to the club, our fleet, and all club members. Craig¡¯s skills and commitment to maintaining and repairing club boats, his willingness to helping members with their own boats, his commitment to ensuring obstacles on the river are visible to all - just to mention just a few of the many thing Craig does -improves the experience of every member of the club. Thank you Craig for your enduring commitment and invaluable contributions to YRC and its members. Looking forward to seeing you all soon. Be well! Peace, Jaime & Anita YRC Co-Presidents

Double, now drying.
To all concern: The Double had some water inside it. I drilled a small stern hole, a few cups came out. I opened the small vent hole near the Stern foot-stretcher also. We will keep it like this for 2 days; then test it for leakage On The Water. It should be fine. because a huge amount entered when fin box damaged and I think it was just trapped.

Double fixed 6
You can use the double again I have fixed the Fin box . But be aware, you can¡¯t put the boat down on the Sling cloth. I¡¯ll be painting it a bright fluorescent yellow, so you can see it better, but pay attention. When you carry the boat, the Fin is only held in place by a small foam piece glued to the inner hull. It won¡¯t withstand the weight of the boat if ON the sling cloth . The dark color of the hull blends in and hides the fin which is why no one knew there was damage . Just add water and enjoy. Craig

My shoulder season wind surfing is long gone! Two items here. Way to hot to row, but I am thinking there is an enthusiast in our group perhaps, or one known. Eager to move them on!

Yankee Rowing: Please keep the boathouse ramp free of leaves
Yankee Rowers, If you're at the boathouse and there are leaves on the boathouse ramp, please sweep them off the ramp--they can be very slippery, especially, but not only, when they are wet. There are several brooms on the wall hooks on the right on the way to the bathrooms. It only takes a few minutes to clear them off the ramp. Thanks very much. Best, Ernie

Clubhouse door spring broken 9
The boathouse door spring is broken. On Friday, if you go out, please leave the door open. I will be around to finish working on the double and their is no problem with theft. Gary is having it fixed as soon as possible. It might even be done today if they can find a spring... Once again, just open the door and leave it open. I'll be coming down later. Also, after rowing, if a couple of people could re-rack the double that would be helpful. Thank You, Craig

Fw: Invitation to 49-day Ceremony for Andrew Larkin
Dear Craig, Thank you for your patience with me! The invitation is below. Pls feel free to call or write if anything is unclear. To: Fellow Rowing Enthusiasts and Friends of Andrew Larkin Invitation to a 49-Day Spiritual Ceremony (Buddhist) to Support the Spirit of Andrew Larkin, d. August 11, 2023 Venue: New England Peace Pagoda 100 Cave Hill Road Leverett, MA 01054 413-367-2202 Date: Thursday, September 28, 2023 Time: 11:00 am Andrew Larkin was a long-time friend of New England Peace Pagoda, since the early 1980¡¯s. He came to most of our Ceremonies and walked with us for peace and justice over many years. We are offering this 49-Day Ceremony, a traditional Buddhist Ceremony, for the spirit of our dear friend, Andrew Larkin. In Buddhism it is believed that the spirit of the deceased stays in an ¡°in-between¡± state for 49 days after the departure of the spirit from the physical body (the day of death is counted as day #1). On the 49th day the spirit journeys to a place in the spiritual realm where it will abide for some time. People associated with the deceased gather on the 49th Day to support this time of transition, that the spirit of the deceased may go to a place of peace. People of any background are warmly welcome to bring their good thoughts and intentions for Andy Larkin¡¯s spirit. At one point in the Ceremony all attendees will be invited to offer incense for Andy. All welcome to this service which is an opportunity to show our appreciation for Andrew Larkin¡¯s life, and put our hearts and minds together for a peaceful journey for his spirit in the spiritual world.
