Another year, another coxswain training. It was a busy Memorial Day at the boathouse with some spectacular line tosses, some tricky man-overboard drills and hopefully a bit of learning.

Congratulations to our new Coxswains!

Remember that coxswain training is just the first step in a long process of learning. Our new coxswains will take the lead on boats, giving commands and making decisions, but with more experienced hands keeping a close watch and providing guidance.

Big thank you to Sally, Dave, Wendy, Frank and Rebecca for keeping the hungry masses fed, Pablo for handling all the little things that needed to be done throughout the day and Barbara, Andrew, Michael, Elizabeth, Michelle, Deborah, David, and Jackie for doing a wonderful job with the on-water training.
