SPRING KICK-OFF PARTY

Our season kick-off party is held in early Spring. This year it will be on Friday, April TBDth, 2017 at the TBD in New Bedford at 6:00pm. This is a fun relaxed event to get the season started. We have raffle items, new tee's and gear for sale. It's a wonderful time to reacquaint everyone and kick around ideas for the upcoming season.

 

WCR Destination Rows

Once a month (weather depending), we'll take the boat out to different exotic locations to row, explore and lunch.

Our first destination was to Padanarum on June 25th

 

August 7th...We teamed up with MBOWR to row Sconticut Neck and West Island. We went around the island, had lunch on the beach and a swim before rowing back for home. We're looking forward to more rows with MBOWR.

Stay tuned for news of our next Destination Row.
