Just returned from dropping off the Frances Elspeth that has been sold to a Philadelphia area high school - I hope they have as many successful races in it as we did!Coach Besteman and I spent the day at the boathouse prepping three sets of blades for repainting, putting on new oar sleeves and handles. We're also retrofitting our older sets of blades with the adjustable length handles - messy work but it should mean that we'll have consistent equipment across the program. We'll attack the rigging in the next few days...
I also wanted to revisit what we discussed at our team meeting yesterday - each of you has an important contribution to make to the team whether or not you always see it. If you're having difficulties or are questioning all you need to do is take action one day at a time and let things develop.
Also, who knew that breakfast would be the best meal of the day? Is it the omelette station or the waffle maker at Mather that is making that happen...?
6 days until the launch of the spring season.
