Oh yeah, River City Rowing Club, that's like right next to Davis. I had the opportunity to row on that area in the Spring of 2011. It was possibly the worst rowing weather I have ever been in, but then again, that was a fairly wet spring in general. Nice body of water nonetheless.
Our channel is pretty straight and offers good protection from the elements. If the wind comes in from the right angle it can get pretty choppy, and our summers get pretty hot, but we love it.
I actually am on the team now even though the season is over. I'm doing it next year too, unless I change my mind. If anything, I'm probably going to be a coxswain. I'm a little guy and I don't weigh much, so it's just right for me.
What make of boat is that 8? I have never seen one here in England but I saw an American college lightweight race and these boats seemed pretty popular with the sunken riggers. Thanks
