Happy New Year all! Today at noon….. A man on his bicycle was scanning the river with binoculars. He keeps tabs on our beautiful Common Mergansers, who fish even in the breaks in the ice, and winter over. See you all in the Spring if not before! Jonathan

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 ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Elizabeth Lehman <eblehman5@...> Date: Tue, Feb 16, 2021 at 4:28 PM Subject: Used rowing shell looking for a good home To: Carol Edelstein <caroledelstein@...>, Robin Barber <robertebarber@...> 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

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 http://www.rowrio.org/ 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!!

A snoot and a sniff out on the water. H2O temp 42. Bright and sunny.

It's time for our annual meeting. I know you're all eager to get on the water after pandemic isolation. And the fact that we don't (yet) have excessive river flows and do have (at least temporarily) very warm days makes the urge to row nearly overwhelming. We won't discuss the water temperature. Last year we started the season on May 8. The meeting will be via Zoom on Sunday March 28, 2 PM. We will try to finish the business meeting promptly. I will then leave the Zoom call open until 4 PM or everyone has left; this will be your opportunity to swap lies with your fellow off-the-water rowers. Winter news: On a sunny but cold day, February 26, our newly-acquired midweight Fluid double was delivered to the boathouse (see picture). Craig and the equipment committee will work on checking it out and commissioning it.

Finance report: Leslie Smith BR: Retain last year's fees Membership: $ 490 Rack: $ 415 2. Elect board of directors BR: Robin Barber has asked to step down Moshe (Moi) Wurgaft has agreed to be nominated Full slate: Ernie Alleva, Jaime Caron, Jenn Ferree, Andy Larkin, Craig Schiff, Leslie Smith, Bob Sproull, Anne Teschner, David Wick, Moshe Wurgaft 3.

Appoint equipment committee BR: Retain current members: Ernie, Craig, Anne 5. COVID precautions BR: Start season with same scheme that we used at the end of last year Possibly relaxing during the season. 6. Agree on spring cleanup plan BR: Jenn to organize 7. Reservation system Although the Board has a recommendation, it was not unanimous and discussion at the annual meeting will be invited. BR: start season with same system we ended with (times adjusted relative to sunrise) It may be possible to relax the system as the season progresses 8. Possible boathouse expansion. Since we're completely out of rack space, there have been discussions about various ways to expand our space. The most likely is to rent the "east aisle," a section of the building that abuts our current space to the east. The space would need only modest renovation to be able to house 10 additional singles; this is work that could be done by the club. Gary Pellisier, the owner of the Sportsman's Marina, has expressed interest in additional "sprucing up," including a new door and ramp for the east aisle and repainting the boathouse exterior. All of this is contingent on more investigation and planning and also on negotiating acceptable lease adjustments with Gary. A small Board committee will be working on this. They will solicit comments and suggestions from all members. In order to accommodate the current rack waiting list (3 boats), we are also discussing with Gary placing a rack outdoors. (I own a fine rack and would be happy to have YRC use it). Of course, not all boat owners will be willing to rack their boats outdoors. But it would be nice to accommodate all rack needs at the beginning of the season, even if the east aisle plan is moving ahead; our season may open in about a month, and it's unlikely that the east aisle would be ready in time. 8. Other business, including discussion of "wish li
