24-hour rowing event

Published 12:29 pm Tuesday, March 5, 2013

Orcas Island Rowing is holding its annual “24-hour row” early in the season this year. The crew team will be outside the Island Market grocery store continuously on a rowing machine. They typically take 30 minute relay sessions. The coaches and a few of the more enthusiastic parents help, but it’s mostly the junior crew members. They will be rowing from noon on Friday March 8 until Saturday, March 9 at noon. The event is a traditional rite of passage for the team as well as a low key fundraiser. The kids will be running a car wash at the same time as rowing Saturday morning across from the market in the Key Bank drive through. For more info: OrcasIslandRowing.org or martin@OrcasDigerati.com.
