Day Two

After the flights and checking into the hotel we were ready to get out and row. A good sleep and rested bodies, the crews went down to the course, only to find very rough waters. The first practice was hampered by high winds and white caps in the middle of the race course. The tent was set up with a familiar flag at the top of it.

Club Coordinator and girls co-coach, Mrs.Sage brought  a Canucks flag that is sitting ceremoniously at the top of our tent.

After lunch, the crews came back down to the course, only to find more wind and white caps. The crews went on the water, but were quickly ushered off the course when the winds reached 40 km per hour.

So there was a quick change of plans. After a quick shower, all of the boys crews hopped into the vans and headed down to Niagara Falls for a little sight-seeing tour.

After we spent our allotted time at the Falls, we all headed up to Mick and Angelo's for a great pasta and pizza dinner.

Martin B and Cameron Y ordered the largest pizza on the menu. Between the two of them, they were able to finish it all off. It was fun to watch.











There were two birthdays, Reilly M on Tuesday and Toby G on Wednesday. Toby got the cake and Reilly got the Deep Fried Ice Cream cake.

I could not figure out how to rotate the page. Sorry Reilly for leaving you on your side for the picture....

After dinner and a 20 minute shopping spree at the Nike outlet store, we headed back to the hotel. There are a few rabid Canuck fans on the team, including the coach at the top of the list. We were worried that the game was going to go to overtime. With 20 seconds left in the game, Raffi Torres slid the puck into the net to win Game 1 of the Stanley Cup finals. The place went crazy! Now all the athletes are in bed and sleeping, hoping that the weather will be more cooperative tomorrow.
