Grand Lake Friday 15th

Well the weather today is not what we would call summery, but it is definitely what living in the mountains is all about. Hopefully it will clear up for the weekend. I have not blogged since the Fraser Valley River Days. We had a lot of interested rowers stop by on the Saturday and they got to try out our recreational rowers in the little pond, Thank you Rendezvous Colorado for the use of your pond. We raised $45 for the M.S. Society thanks to everyone's donations. We even had the Perkins family back to row on Grand Lake the next day which was neat to see them again. So thank you Maria at the Winter park Fraser Valley Chamber of Commerce for the opportunity to display our row boats.

Wednesday Aug 6.

 It was another beautiful morning on Grand Lake. We had the Iwanski family out on 2 Yoles with the girls as passengers viewing the lake in style. Janet came back for her second row. It is fun talking to people as they try and get better with their rowing such as having 1 stronger arm or just keeping those oars on the water!!! We all improve every time we go out and that is the neat thing. Here is a picture of the Iwanskis!! Row long and prosper!

Grand Lake Colorado Rowers

Well today saw 8 new rowers and a 1 accomplished high school rower from Oklahoma. It is really neat seeing traditional rowers get in our Turbos and rip up Grand Lake. There was a Grand Lake Yacht Club race today for Regatta week involving the older wooden motor launches. It was fun watching them race the whole length of Grand Lake. We rowers handled their wake just fine with our extremely stable recreational row boats. We are enjoying nice 70-80 degree weather while Denver and the front range cooks in 100 degrees!!!

Saturday July 26th

What a night!! We had our Grand Opening last night. Met a bunch of new friends and welcomed a lot of our "old" friends back. Grand Lake turned on a lovely night with the the odd gust of wind to spice things up a bit. We had a bunch of eager new rowers taking advantage of our free demo night. Again the Virus Cataram proved to be a perfect introductory boat. Have to say when Noah from Virus Boats designed the Cataram he absolutely got the design right. Having a totally stable platform means everyone could totally focus on getting their rhythm quickly and also enjoy the whole process. Our guests included Luke and Ginny from Humphreys Grand Lake, Tim and Sarah from Mountain Hub Grand Lake, Dianne Butler from Destinations West Grand Lake, Marjorie from Jackstraw Arts Grand Lake, and a whole bunch of other business owners from in and around Grand Lake. New customers Gretta and Jared returned early this morning on my advice of yesterday and got to experience the tranquility of the lake in the morning, so gratifying to see a couple enjoying a new adventure together, makes our job so worth-it.
