Another rowing first today. My first solo row. Beautiful autumn morning in Connecticut, a mist over the waters of the Housatonic River when I arrived at GMS. The air temperature was 41 deg. F, about 8 degrees cooler than at home when I left. So this is the first time I pulled my boat off the rack, a Wintech 24, carried down to the dock, rigged the boat and launched...all by myself. I rowed to the Lover's Leap bridge and back to GMS. Glided into the dock, removed the oars, threw the boat up on my shoulders and placed it back on the rack.
So not a big deal really, but a step in the right direction. No harm to me or the boat.....and it was a beautiful morning on the river.
