[RRC] speed sculling saturday

[Ben Bennett]

Rivanna scullers:

Saturday the 10th at around 7 AM for speed practice.  There is no sense 
being pedantic about the time since we cannot all practice together 
anyway.  We'll just form small groups either beforehand or at the 
boathouse or at the dam.  And remember Kevin's practice starts at 8.
There is one matter however:  SAFETY:  I propose the following, for the 
use of the cable, if it's OK.
1) speed pieces and full-pressure exercises to be done only while coming 
upstream, from the dam.  Use the downstream row for warm-up and recovery.
2) obviously people will want to row abreast and will need to use both 
sides of the cable.  Let's say maximum three boats abreast.
3) primary responsibility for collision avoidance lies with people 
headed downstream toward the dam, since the speed rowers coming upstream 
will not be keeping as good a lookout.  When going downstream, remember 
that both sides of the cable may be in use, stay close to the shore, 
away from the cable, and keep a good lookout anyway in case some idiot 
gets off course.

Any objections?
