A little rain couldn’t dampen the enthusiasm of the GCRA members who enjoyed the hospitality of Deb and Mike S. on Saturday evening. Club members (and non-rowing s.o.’s) from all programs (technical, LTR, continue-to-row, ready-to-race, and recreational) enjoyed traditional picnic fare and summer-themed music, while watching the river flow by the 1000m mark. Saeed brought his powerboat and treated members to a leisurely (yet thrill-filled) evening ride to “Canada” (waaaay past the Hayden-Run bridge). Unfortunately roast-o-matic 2.0 got called on account of rain. Thanks to the social committee for another well-done event.

Sixteen members of Coach Thornton’s Ready-to-Race group hoisted the Jolly Roger and set out to capture booty at the Master’s National Championship Regatta held at Cooper River NJ, August 12-15. Although challenged alternately by rain, strong headwinds, scorching temperatures and high seas, they returned victorious with 4 gold, 4 silver, and 2 bronze medals. In addition, GCRA treasurer Casey B. helped Master’s Coaching win 2 bronze medals in women’s 8+’s, GCRA trustee Hawley L. coxed two Master’s International women’s boats to gold and a third to a silver medal finish, and President Helmut B. won 2 bronze medals.
