A lighter moment during practice on Saturday
By Martin Taylor
Orcas Island junior rowing club is very close to the end of another season — just one more practice then they are off to NW Regionals on Vancouver Lake, Vancouver, Wash. on Thursday.
This event is very exciting –three days of intense racing against the best junior rowers in the Northwest, many of them with hopes of medaling and if they come in the top two in varsity events qualifying for Nationals three weeks later in Oak Ridge, Tennessee. Despite being the smallest club attending the regatta, Orcas has high hopes of sending one or two crews to Nationals.
So please share the excitement with us. Send us good wishes. Stop us in the street or at the market.
Follow their blog for live updates from the course throughout NW Regionals. They will be very busy. Probably burnt to a crisp from the sun and the adrenaline. But we will keep up the news from the event at the club’s web site.
Wish them luck and share the excitement!
