Today the river, tomorrow the world!

Yesterday the tank, today the ergs, tomorrow the water!  We have been able to add a weekly tank practice into our schedules to work on refining our technique, and now we have also added the river to the equation.  The river gods have been gracious enough to offer us a mild climate and (for the most part) ice free rivers, allowing us to take full advantage and get out on the water 4 weeks ahead of schedule.   With rowers frantically digging for pogies and the coxswains in 4 pairs of pants, tomorrow we take the river!
