A couple times a year the Lake Washington Rowing Club (confusing since it’s really on Lake Union) holds a regatta and they have clubs from across the north west attend. This weekend the regatta started with quite a number of boats already in the surrounding parking lots by around 6:30am.
The number kept growing through the morning until there must have been more than 60 boats and crews from single skulls to doubles, quads and eights.
The activity on the dock was something to see and the dock master was acting like the traffic controller on an aircraft carrier as he directed boats arriving and leaving. Crews seemed to be across the local north west area as well some crews from Alaska – very much the spectacle!
