Miami Arrival - So Warm And Soothing ....

Posted by DPH2002 , 17 February 2011 · 621 views

Just got in and it so nice to be back in Miami. It is soooooooo warm. It was freezing when I left LA this morning, like 40 degrees!

Not a cloud in the sky as the sun was setting this evening, and a full moon rising from the East. Caught the Airport Flyer and jumped off at 41st & Collins avenue and then hopped on a local bus, the 'S' heading...

The Long Drive North: La To Seattle

Posted by DPH2002 , 18 June 2010 · 680 views

For those those who don't live in California, the drive from Los Angeles to Seattle is ... loooongggg! Google maps calculates it at 1,165 miles. I can barely drive 500 miles a day. Something about a slight form of motion sickness I guess - I get sleepy so fast, and food just makes it worse.

The reason for the drive is that GLRF is hosting a booth...

Warm And Clear ...

Report from Miami! I love using that line. First, it is warm, and oh, yeah, it is warm . Flew in Monday night on Jet Blue to Fort Lauderdale International. The pilot said the temperature was 63 F (17 C). It is so nice to wander around at night with just a t-shirt and shorts.

After shuttles, trains, buses, and two feet, got to the Deauville Beach...

Back On The Erg

Blond Surfers

It is sooooo cold in LA right now. I hate rowing when it's this cold outside. Every splash of water stings. I'm sure there are a few in Boston, Chicago, Madison, St. Catharines, London, and probably Seattle who could express ship me huge helpings of humble pie but I just can't get past the cold thing.

Of course, if James Ellis was in the boat,...

A La Jacques Cousteau

Posted by DPH2002 , 29 September 2009 · 515 views

Rowing

Most of you will remember the Under Sea World of Jacques Cousteau TV documentaries in the 70’s. For those that don’t, Monsieur Cousteau invented the aqua lung aka scuba gear and brought the undersea world to everyone’s living room in vivid color. I will never forget the one episode about the sleeping sharks of Yucatan. Cousteau finally put to rest...

Erg - Gone In A Flash, And What A Hottie!

Posted by DPH2002 , 29 September 2009 · 563 views

Blond Surfers

Wow, that was quick.

I posted Bob B's erg for sale on here since he moved to NYC last week and left me with the task of selling it.  I also listed the erg on Craig's List at a higher price, $395.

That was at maybe 8 pm last night.  By 8 am, there were 10 emails asking to buy it and even more came in through the day.  One guy said he would...

Land Locked And Getting Stir Crazy

Blond Surfers

No blond surfers around here. Up in NorCal for a couple of weeks and working on the GLRF site remotely.

It's been three weeks since I have been on the water and I won't be back near Marina Del Rey until 15 Sep. Yikes, that's a long time. No dogs to report; just chipmunks, pine cones, bears, coyotes, Aspens, and fir trees.

Everyone around...

Firsts In Philly And Lots Of Sunshine

Posted by DPH2002 , 21 July 2009 · 565 views

Rowing

It was my first time at the Undine Boat Club, my first time in a Filippi racing shell, and my first time on the Schuylkill River. There is only one word to describe all three firsts: glorious.

Fellow GLRF member and Captain of the Club Ray B (if you met him, you would call him Ray Blue Eyes for piercingly obvious reasons...) hosted me at Undine...

Oak Ridge - America's Best Rowing Course?

Posted by DPH2002 , 20 July 2009 · 736 views

Rowing

Been here all week while hosting the GLRF booth. The water is amazing - it goes on for miles and it is so smooth.

The Oak Ridge Rowing Association (ORRA) is one major club that that seems to make a business out of hosting regattas. One woman I spoke with said they host upwards of 8 - 10 regattas a year. Amazing! With my guilty conscience eating away...
