As you can see below, I'm still rowing here in Detroit. At 7am this morning the water was choppier than what I was used to ... but they tell me that during the week at 5am it's very nice :) I'll tell you on Monday whether or not that's true. I also met two Germans (what are the chances!) at the boat house, and we'll probably be rowing together in a four or quad. We should call it "Das Boot".
The boat house is on an island in the Detroit river ... Detroit is cut off in the top left of the image. When we row around the island, we'll be rowing along the US-Canada border. Just have to watch out for some LARGE boats there.

Don't you have to hang sausages from the riggers before you can call it "Das Boot?" Glad all seems to be going well up there. Watch out for ship wakes!
Sounds great Fred! Have fun!
Hey Fred, sounds nice! Would it be possible for you to take photos and show them to us? I am curious to see the boathouse, the boats, your German quad, what you see from the river...if you get to cox one day...the face of our coach! Whatever will make us feel we are rowing parallel to you! And don’t forget the “big boats” , sure they look tinny compared to our super 8+ size barges!!
