Cooper River Park - 8:27 AM Saturday dawns

Athletes arrived last night around 4:30 and were on the water at 5:00 PM - I thought it was pretty excellent efficiency and we were able to get our work done on the course and give the athletes a good chance to adjust. Immediately following we showered, changed and headed to a wonderful dinner at Tracey Suter's home in Haddonfield...What an amazing neighborhood and great food!

Coach Jaugstetter from Tulane University is bringing his athletes over in about 10 minutes to borrow our M2 'Bob Benjamin ' 71 - they'll be racing our heat this afternoon. The shell won the NCAA Division III varsity title in 2005 so it definitely can be rowed at top speed. Still have to get the parent tent supplies set up and we'll do that as soon as we get the grill down.

Our athletes arrive at 8:45 AM and there is a coxswain's meeting at 9:00 AM.
