Masters sweeps throwing down

More from RMNP. It was actually quite windy, but a 20 second exposure really smoothed things out quite nicely. (Actually, 4 20 second vertical exposures, to get the mountains and the reflections in).

If you double the oars, it is still a wagon? Or is like a tank or a tractor?

A resident of Rocky Mountain National Park comes up for a snack.

Coming to a trials near you.

Not bad. Not bad at all.

It would appear that some CBC dads decided to put their children to work. Someone correct me if I am wrong, but there might be an extra Wilkins and/or Richards in there.

Just a hint of purple at sunrise yesterday.. Didn't quite blow up the way I hoped it would, but, it'll do.

Lisa and Hank overseeing the Charles River Scullers. (Actually two Lisa Stones in this photo, the OG, and the Empacher named after her).

Sunrise almost didn't happen. But it worked out.

Olena Buryak dropping the erg at the 2017 CRASH-Bs. Like she did today during her World Record 6:22.8 2K. Respect.

Bear Lake might be one of the most touristy destination at Rocky Mountain National Park.. For good reason.

MRRA dudes bending some oars at Sweeps and Sculls

The last sunset in CO was pretty spectacular.

Wagon life didn't end after Henley.

Alberta Falls at RMNP.

Congrats to Emily on a well earned bronze at U23 worlds!

Meanwhile, in Colorado, Dream Lake at Rocky Mountain National Park turned out to be pretty dreamy.

Rob launches into the moonset/reflected sunrise.

I emerged into a field of wild flowers, lit up by the Colorado sun. And in the distance, like a glorious mirage... was a Westin. As much as I enjoyed the stay, they could have made it a little bit shorter.

Gentle Giants vs buoy. Remarkable recovery, all things considered, and Ed and John were going to beat them on handicap anyhow. :)

Colorado mornings are ok.

Blue Geese in Narragensset.

Last light of the day sliding through the Rockies.

Carrie and Anne-Marie didn't want the boys to have all the pair fun.

Sunsets aren't so bad here, either.

An RBC sculler rows by

Jetlag could, occasionally be a good thing.

Close combat in the junior double at the Sweeps and Sculls

Getting on Jet plane.. After going back to the gate first.. Nothing like a 2am MST time arrival to get that productivity going.

Sweep ladiezzz carving up sunshine.

More tracks at dawn.

Masters pairs invading Narragansett Sweeps and Sculls

Great place for a regatta. Bonus appearance from an orange Van Dusen.

Savannah and Abigail threw down pretty hard in the women's single at Cromwell on Sunday.

Sun sneaking out over the horizon for a brief peep last Saturday, before fading behind the clouds again.

Rolling by some UBC mixed doubles in the basin

Sunrise at RBC, with the moon making a bonus appearance.

Fun times this morning the U23 lightweight squad (and friends)

Also featuring our U23 Single, Emily

Molly is the U23 Lwt Single, you may recall her from her previous adventures in the LW4x and the Pierce family double.

U23 Lwt4x, with Janice, Emma, Makayla, and Anna with perfect bladework.

Kate and Sarah in the double (not 100% positive on lineup).

Abby playing the role of player-coach perfectly, sparring with Molly.

Molly wasn't the only Pierce in the basin.. Dad Jim stroked the CBC quad that sparred with the light 4x, also featuring fellow MIT alum Russ, and not one, but two Mansons (well, one is a Mazzio-Manson), Jay and Daisy.

Malcom presiding over the festivities.

Bonus shot of both U23 singles.

Turns out the US U23 LW2X is also eligible for junior racing. They also won the open double. Prestigious Cromwell gold out of the way, they are setting their eyes on international competition.

Long exposure of a short race.

Close encounters of the pair kind.

Cheers to Jeff's Birthday!

Fireworks were either for Jeff or New Kids on the Block.
