I can't believe it has come so quickly but the Four Score and Four Boat Club eight is about ready to depart for England tomorrow night. We'll be flying through the night and arriving in Henley ready to rig, row, and meet our hosts Minnie and David Wilson and Keith and Lyn Goodwin. The Goodwins and Wilsons have hosted Trinity crews in 2005 and 2008 and hosted the Yale women for the Henley Women's Regatta. There needs to be a book written about Henley family hosts who have probably seen and heard some amazing stories of overseas crews and their deeds on the water and their exploits off the water.
Also, just saw Eli Roxby and John Graves at the boathouse picking up their pair in preparation for Nationals on Mercer Lake. They look lean and fit and apparently have the boat going incredibly well.
Also, found out that we have another athlete training with the South Jersey Rowing Club in preparation for Canadian Henley as well. Keep it going! I'll be trying hard to keep the blog updated from England.
