VCB’s season on Prospect Park Lake officially ended last Saturday, but we added one event by special request: a rowboat excursion for Jacinta Paulic and Mehmet Barlas, who were married yesterday at the Prospect Park Boathouse. The two had come out earlier in the summer to try out the boats; Mehmet’s rowing skills were shaky, and when the wind came up Jacinta had to row them back. But yesterday tradition won out and the groom took up the oars, manfully battling with the duckweed that has filled in the Lullwater, as that part of the lake is known. Congratulations to the newlyweds, who are off to South Africa on their honeymoon!
