Rowers Get the Right-of-Way at the Swantown Dock

If you enjoy using the gray float attached to the breakwater dock at Swantown Marina, you may have noticed some increased activity as of late. The Master rowers are back and in the water at 5:30 on Tuesdays and Thursdays. The Juniors are rowing five days a week, and that means that they're out there at 6:30 AM and from roughly 3 to 4:30 or 5:30 PM. That's a lot of shells going in and out of the water. It's their dock, so we need to give them the right-of-way when it comes to its use. It's really nice to be able launch from a lower platform and rinse your board once your done, but if we don't respect the rowers right to their dock, we may not be able to use it at all. So give way when they're there, please be polite, and coil the hose when you're done. Thanks.
P.S. Another beautiful day in Olympia...

How is this deadhead, halfway between Priest Pt and the log boom,
still here? Soon it'll have to be marked on nautical charts!
