Rowing Readies for Isabel
September 18, 2003

Isabel groundswell, Tuesday 9/16

Like the rest of the east coast, the rowing community has been hustling for days to batten down the boathouse for the arrival of Isabel. The 23rd Charlie Butt Sculler's Head of the Potomac has been cancelled (although there were rumors that the post-regatta party would go on), launches have been put ashore, and buoys and full-blown race courses alike removed. High school students in Maryland are securing their equipment: Possibility of storm frees Kent students rest of week.

Even the fleet of shells in a container coming home from the World Championships are taking refuge. Originally due to arrive in New York City on Thursday or Friday, the ship transporting the shells is taking the lead of the US Navy and will remaining a few hundred miles out to sea while the storm runs itself down, and will make their way into port sometime late this weekend or early next week.

Meanwhile, the container from Pan Am's arrived, and USRowing's Glenn Merry is staying ahead of the storm with a delivery that started in New Jersey, blasted down to Virginia, and U-turned north for Boston and New Hampshire since the container arrived from the DR a day-and-a-half ago.

Good luck and better weather to everyone in the path of the storm.
