Head of the Charles

This past weekend Boston hosted a big sporting event. I am, of course, referring to the 43rd Head of the Charles Regatta, which attracts about 7,000 rowers and 300,000 spectators along the Charles River that separates Cambridge and Boston. A few friends from sculling camp showed up, and we cheered on people from camp who were racing. The weather was beautiful, watching rowers navigating the turn before the Eliot Bridge was exciting (and not always without contact between boats), the company was fun, and dinner afterwards at Elephant Walk was delicious.

Photos from a week in Vermont's Northeast Kingdom, mostly spent at the Craftsbury Outdoor Center learning how to scull. No, I'd never sculled before, but I figured what could be bad about spending a week by a remote pond during peak foliage season? The answer, of course, was "nothing".
