Photos from this weekend's Noyo river row

It was a long drive for a short row, but fun anyway. Very interesting
to sling-launch my dory skiff -- I'd never see it fly before.

The wind picked up in the afternoon and most of us pulled our boats out at the public ramp rather than watch them **really fly**.

Just a reminder - only 3 weeks until the Big Lagoon Messabout.

Ah....My old stomping grounds..... Is that old hippy guy still carving redwood stumps with a chainsaw at the base of the harbor?

Looks like it was a perfect day for a row. The weather was gorgeous.

It was nice away from the ocean, but at the river mouth it was really windy -- enough to cause the CG to shut the harbor/river entrance.

The rivers in this area are lovely, mostly tidal sloughs that allow you to row way upriver before it gets too shallow.

Here's my page of boating event photos, including two rows on the Albion and one on Big River.
