Found this creature struggling in the water so I used my shoe (I carry them in the boat) to rescue. It stayed there preening and drying off until it was ready and poof it took off. by @rockiesrowing

When you leave boats alone for too long unexpected residents make it their home. This is an old double with no guts, sitting on a trailer waiting. Now it has purpose, being a home for wasps. by @rockiesrowing

Season starting earlier than usual, hurrah.
The posts we put up for snow load were miraculously removed. Thanks for this!
Today preparation for tomorrow. Washed down oars and put the tin boat out of the way of moving boats.
Fluid 1x (purchased from fluid, second hand boat) quad 4x (purchased from Vernon along with the 2x) and double need a wash and check for rigging. Double #2 (gifted from Creston Valley Osprey RC), swift 1x (purchased from an RCA Para Rowing grant) and hvy men's 1x (club bought from Kurt Edmond founder of Rockies {formerly Cranbrook} RC) also need a bath. Soap and water and wash behind the ears. Life jackets back in place.
Let the season begin for Rockies RC. by @rockiesrowing
