Josh and Andrew launching to crush some 4Ks.

Fast catches, slow shutter.

Red, white, blue and Pru.

Not sure about spinach, but they are definitely strong to the finish

Pretty long at the catch, too.

And pretty sharp, as well.

Scott Roop had some nasty fast crews when he coached at Brown. I should know, we had to race them. These guys aren't so bad, either.

Continuing our tour of the landmarks. The basin was a little on the lumpy side.

Maybe more than a little.

Speaking of Popeye. Nice pipes, Josh.

Look into Andrew's eyes.

Last stop on the landmark tour.

Mary doing 1Ks two weeks ago with the team.

Weird approach into Boston last night, but a great photo op.

Scullers passing at dawn

Chateau Conn at sunset.

RBC Masters sweeps running the basin.

Clouds rushing over Dundee Hills.

Squad getting ready for the run through the vines

Excitement was palpable.

A little less excitement around mile 10.

Medals were pretty cool though

And someone actually won her age group. Rewarded, with what else, wine!

A CBC double powering down the powerhouse

Meanwhile, in Oregon, training for the Fueled by Fine Wine half-marathon commences.

Behind the waterfall curtain

Erin having a good laugh as Team Gevvie parted for her

Toto, I don't think we are in Massachusetts anymore.

Lisa practicing a mixed double. Cromwell Games, Masters Nationals, or just for fun?

Cloudy view from East Boston.

Russ working on his next career as a Shimano Rowing model.

Ok, ok, I will stop with the fireworks. Eventually. The fireworks shooting off the Mass Ave Bridge were pretty cool, and it seemed like they did way more of that this year.

Mike during pieces last Friday.

Fireworks observation in progress at the Pierce Boathouse.

About three minutes worth of fireworks in one exposure.

A more conventional 11 second exposure--they still managed to pack quite a bit into that short period of time.

The exodus, always the nuttiest part of the whole evening. I still don't understand anyone that wants to be out there in a kayak.

Harvard heavies trying life with two oars, under coach Erin's watchful eye.

Sun poking out behind Weld.

Lynn and Patricia rowing past Weld at dawn.

A minute's worth of fireworks in Ambler, PA

A morning with Dr. Stone (trust her, she's a two time Olympian).

Rowing is fun

Time to go to work

The basin was at it's sparkliest best.

Team Gevvie Part 1 (Mike Cataldo, Russ Cone, Tom Bohrer, Mike Farry).

Gevvie, Mary and Russ

Your Olympic single sculler, ladies and gentlemen.

Working the finish

Gregg, aka "Coach Dad" presiding over the controlled chaos.

The serious women of Team Gevvie, who actually go to trials and stuff. Good luck to Cecily Madden (U23) and Mary Jones(LW1X) in a few weeks.
