The Tall Ships' Cadet Row

Chip Eichorn from New Jersey brought several of his lifeguards and two boats up from New Jersey to participate in the Tall Ships row.

This is Chip's other boat. They use it for rescuing swimmers on the beach in New Jersey.

 

From this view you can see that there is no transom so swimmers can easily be pulled into the boat. There is considerable flotation built in under the floor of the boat. Chip makes and sells these lifesaving boats.

 

After the row there the JGTSCA hosted a picnic for members, friends and cadets. Here cook Tim Weaver offers a hotdog to Ethan while Russell Smith looks on.


Two Connecticut River Oar and Paddle Club members.


That's Rob Pittaway in the straw hat talking to a group of the cadets. The cadets that stayed with us all wore blue shirts. They had a ball and stayed with us into the evening.

Another view of the crowd. The cadet far left was certainly one of the most enthusiastic. That's the Portugal flag around his neck.

 

The party's over and the cadets bid a fond farewell to the Smith girls.
