The Big Row

Mr. Frei is planning a very long row this summer….in this 16 foot boat…and for a very good cause! I’m planning to row my Adirondack Guide Boat from Troy, New York, to Baltimore. Why? Don’t ask. Not now. It’s a longer story than it is a row. You’ll read about it in the Journal…. If ‘ole Mr. Frei completes what some have termed this “nonsensical adventure,” he’ll have rowed about 450 miles.

August 6th - 34 miles to Marlboro, NY

Mr. Frei and his friend Peter are camping in the clubhouse of the Marlboro Yacht Club in Marlboro, NY tonight. They also were invited to a big cookout there, so are eating well! It's a good thing they can stay on the grounds there because otherwise they would be listening to freight trains going by every 10 minutes.

He did 34 miles today against the wind in 9 1/2 hours. He and Peter lunched at Hyde Park, the former home of Franklin D. Roosevelt.

Mr. Frei says that the Hudson River is looking very clean, a few dead fish, but no real trash.

A BIG THANK YOU to the Marlboro Yacht Club for their hospitality!
