Anacostia Boathouse

Anacostia Youth River Sports Day

Wilson

WIlson, our new OC mascot, attended the third annual Anacostia River Sports Day in early October. I'm not sure when Wilson officially joined the club as mascot but he's since dressed up his hair and started sporting a Paddle for the Bay baseball cap. In addition to gracing the registration table he's also been seen riding shotgun on the OC6.

Anacostia River Sports Day Ergs on the Dock

Over 200 people showed up for this year's event in early August. Sorry for the late posting of photos. There were rowing Ergs to demo on the dock. We also took out potential young paddlers in the dragon boats, the outrigger canoes and one of the rowing trainer boats. The flat rowers that don't tip over.

Club members also gave demos on paddling technique.
