On March 5th, Leigh and Clare rendezvoused at Windmill Point in Hull, MA for the Hull Lifesaving Museum’s 41st Annual Snow Row. There was a strong Belfast contingent at the Snow Row with Come Boating sending two gigs down to the race. Mild weather and calm seas made for a great day filled with friendly competition.
It was Clare’s first time competing and Leigh’s first time competing in NORPPA. Despite a rocky start and an unfortunate de-seating (Clare is still perfecting her rowing form) it was a successful day and NORPPA finished first in her class and third overall. While a 3 3/4 mile race isn’t quite comparable to the 750 miles from Port Townsend to Ketchikan it was an awesome start to Leigh and Clare’s competitive racing career!
