Yesterday I received official word, by boat is finished and will have to be replaced. However sad, it does mean that I will end up with a new boat – assuming the insurance company doesn’t do something weird. Which who knows, they might. Though it is my insurance, not UWO’s (don’t let me start on that one), so it is covered. Before I go off on too much of a tangent here, I am putting a request out to the blogosphere. Later this month , it is expected that I will get the remaining bits and pieces of my single back; I am trying to think of creative ways to give my boat a proper sendoff. My request is that people comment on, or message me with ideas. Currently I have the following ideas:
1) 21 gun salute as we throw the flaming wreckage off of Fanshawe Dam
2) Mount the bow deer-head style on the wall of my living room.
3) Use the cockpit to create a really cool coffee table .
I look forward to hearing some creative suggestions!
On a completely different note, Volker told us quite the story about how the Lake Lanier rowing club was so quickly able to give us boats to use down in Atlanta Gainesville Gainesville Gainesville
This is a true testament to the athletes in this sport, in that the support that a athlete who didn’t directly – or even indirectly, know any of us, put him/her self out to help us out and make sure we would still be able to have a trailing camp. This type of support would likely be substantially harder to find in other parts of the world/sports. For this, we are devoutly thankful.
Again, a special thank you is extended to the anonymous rower who saw the accident and decided to help us out!
