First day of rowing camp is behind us. What a great day! Weather is wonderful, coaches are awesome, we are learning so much.

The Naval Academy is amazing; we will try to post pics later as Karen took a tour Sunday afternoon and snapped some great shots. We are living the dorm life -- hall bathrooms, cafeteria food -- but it's fun because there are a bunch of us. Our group hails from California, Maine, Minnesota, Alabama, Ohio, Pennsyvania, Maryland, Virgina. We have enough for 3 eights and a four. Each boat has their own cox and coach so you get lots of individual attention. Our cox Dave is sitting here at a wine/coffee shop on Monday evening as we sip our beverages and type on the netbook on our lovely outdoor cafe table (city wide wireless in Annapolis --- but not at the Academy).

We will attach some shots, but since I'm new to blogging won't try to line them up perfectly with text.

The famous Hubbard Boathouse is currently undergoing a multi-million dollar renovation. Dissapointing -- especially since we don't get to try "the tank". All the boats are in a huge tent right behind the boathouse and it is only steps to the dock to put in. The boathouse under renovation is attached. Also a shot of the massive dining hall.

Other shots show Karen as I as part of bow 4 with two women from CA , head coach Mike in the erg room -- there are at least 3 erg rooms, yikes!!!

That's it for tonight. This blog things is a learning experience for me so sorry for the amaturish product. Gonna sit back and enjoy this wonderful night and my refreshing glass of wine. Hope all of you are having as much fun as we are!!! Lynne & Karen
