Last Row of the 2011 Season

Six intrepid rowers braved the chill on Saturday morning for a great row on a calm, beautiful Lake Ramsey. Thank you Andy B. for driving the safety boat! Thank you also to those who came to help close up the boat house for the winter, and those who came out for a fun breakfast in honour of Andy B.'s contributions to the Club. Best wishes as well to Andy K. who is heading south to warmer climes (and year-round rowing!). We hope to see you back at the Club in the future.

Here are some photos of the last row, and stay tuned for more photos of Club rowers from this past season.
