The second oar.....not so much. Just a little bit tricky.
Getting the first oar...easy!
Whew, he made it! I had to take these pictures from the upper bank. Cameron was getting embarrassed by me always being in everyones face and snapping pics all the time but I refuse to miss a thing in his growing process...especially this!
This is the tricky part of the docking...not to ram your boat into the dock. Of course he was no going all that fast to actually run into the dock but every bump 'hurts' the boat so a rower must take care.
I have to tell you that this was one of the most difficult days that I endured. That and his first race ever and his first single race (will be coming soon). Here he is in that same FIRST session in a single docking his boat for the first time. He was so proud of that moment and still is to this day. Helping him, on the dock, was Josh Faubion. Josh was and still is (now graduated and in the armed forces) a great supporter and has given Cameron so much support in this sport.
