Advise from a friend

Joe D. is back with some advise.

The site describes the numerous webinars on topics in general management, project management and people management that will be offered in the coming weeks and months.

These webinars compliment basic courses covering the theory, science and tools of management and project management. The focus is on real world experiences and practical, effective solutions to issues and problems we all encounter. The series is intended to show how and where projects can go wrong, and how to avoid these pitfalls.

Rowing on the Rhein

My walk this moring in Mainz was along the Rhein. There I came across the Mainzer Ruder Veiner rowing club. It was about 10AM and the dock was a mass of activity. Most of the boat launches were quad recreational or touring boats. I only saw one single scull and one duble scull. Everything else were touring boats like the C-line quad we use at GMS.

The current is running 2-4 knots! is my guess. Amazing!

Below is a link to a Canada site which speaks to this type of rowing and these boats....
Touring in Ontario is now promoted through the Ontario Adventure Rowing Association or OAR Touring (pdf brochure), a new Association that has been granted membership in ROWONTARIO and Rowing Canada Aviron. OAR Touring replaces the ROWONTARIO touring committee. Each year we will offer a full slate of tours on various scenic waterways of Ontario.
