[RRC] Rocketts Results

[MMaher2049 at aol.com]

RRC rowers came home from Richmond on Saturday a little heavier -- weighted 
down with big, fat medals! 12 RRC rowers/scullers participated in the 5th 
Annual Rockett's Landing Regatta, part of Richmond's day-long James River Adventure 
Games. The day started out pleasant enough but got a little hot in the late 
morning. It was great to have all the races concentrated in morning time slots. 


Here are the results:

Mixed Masters 4+ (Mary, Joe, James & Amelia with Will coxing. yes, that's 
right. I said Will)
First Place 

Women's Masters 4+ (Stacie, Suzan, Dorothy, Diana with Amelia coxing)
First Place

Mixed Masters 8+ (Karen, Mary, Joe, James, Stacie, Amelia, Diana, Merrick 
with Will coxing)
First Place

Men's Masters 2X (Joe & James)
Fourth or Fifth (not sure. perhaps someone will clarify as VBC doesn't have 
results posted)

Women's Masters 2X (Karen, Diana)
Second Place

Women's Masters 4X (Amelia, Mary, Merrick, Karen)
Second Place

Women's Masters 1X (Anne Sudar)
Again, apologies, but I don't have her finish placement)

Men's Masters 1X (Ben Bennett)
ditto

Thanks to Howard Pape for driving the trailer, and for man help from Grady 
Smith and Peter Bower. 

Despite some incredulous comments from dockmasters when our coxswain Will 
managed to squeeze at least his left foot into the coxswain seat, the rowers rose 
to the challenge. "Oh, you think he's too big? Oh really? Well, watch this." 
And we took off like a shot. What he lacked in diminuative stature, he made up 
for in skill and strategerie.

Thanks to VBC for putting the regatta together. We all had a good time. It 
was a great start to our racing season.
