Possible Pirate Boat Names

AHOY me beautys!

The vessel to which we choose to sail the sevens seas with (and to destroy our scuvy dog opponents with) needs to bear a worthy title. So prepare to be boarded! These are some names ye internet beheld. We'll converse the one to be choosen over Glog (a pirate alcoholic drink - usually rum diluted with water). Aye Aye??

The Death of a Demon
The Dreaming Executioner of the South
The Dreaming Whore
The Vile Doom
Dragon's Whore
Dragon Killer
The Disgrace of the South
The Black Pearl

Any others to add to this list? We are a very democratic pirate ship :)

This week's practice...and other side notes.

Nice rate pyraminds last night guys - I thought it went well.

Next practices:
Weds 7/27 (still at 6:30 due to the heat) & Sun 7/31 at 6:30.

I know I keep saying this, but I will have a workout schedule soon. Send REE any dates you will be out of town.

The most we will be practicing is 4 times a week is looks like (Sun through Weds nights). We all need to be doing some serious steady state (half on the erg) on our own and getting in weights once a week too. I have scheduled in some land practices (one of the four practices a week) for the first month - but we should all be working out outside of these practices too.

No doubt the Hooch Pirates are a priority for everyone (if not, ye have to walk the plank), but once we get the schedule fixed and agreed upon - there shouldn't be much reason to miss practice besides what is on the schedule. Seriously, we had too many subs last year and we don't need to have that again. This is for fun, but you never know who we might have to race, and we need to be prepared;)

Keep an eye on your weights, and we'll discuss them in a few weeks. I have no doubt that we will be fine and noone will lose any more than 5 pounds (which we'll do just from working out more!). Just know where you are at so when we discuss it we can set target weights.

Other Fall Races

On the left you will see dates/links for other fall races.
Two of the Five of us are interested in doing the Head of the Potomac. Any input?
The Head of the Lanier is so close - we might as well row there too.
Then there is THE CHARLES.
I don't know if we want to do the Hooch-a-Nooga...I guess it depends on who enters that one.
I guess just start thinking about these dates and if you would like to row in those regattas. We'll iron out the details later.

First Practice Please Dear God!!!!!!!

OK - Now we are going for Sunday evening...6:30 I think.
Aimee will come too. Willies is afterwards!!
