Let's Get Rowing!
Our second week of summer rowing is coming to an end! Check out all the fun we had last week!
THIS WEEK!
The focus for this week was VISIBILITY!
It's important to be visible to all other boaters and rowers on the water and to always assume no one can see you!
Check out the whiteboard on the wall at the back of Hatchets to see our Focus of the Week for new safety reminders and tips on technique every week!
Row to Windermere
This past Wednesday, July 9th we rowed to Windermere House from our Port Carling location! It was the first of our Wednesday Afternoon Rows of the season! We rowed through the locks in Port Carling, to Lake Rosseau, around Tobins Island, to Windermere House, and back to Port Carling covering a distance of about 20km! With a few swims and snacks along the way, it was a fun and sunny adventure!
Next Wednesday, July 15, we'll be rowing to Beaumaris and back covering a similar distance of 22km! This route is the same as the Muskoka Poker Run course for those rowers who participated in the regatta last summer. We will be taking singles and we ask that you are able to row 7km in an hour (to the red buoy and back before heading out to Horseshoe Island and back) so that you will be comfortable for the trip! There are still spots left for rowers to sign up!
