| Safe & Happy Fall Rowing
A Few Things to Remember

The fall is an exciting season on the river, and a very busy one. The final stretch of our on-the-water season along with college and high school programs and rowers from all over preparing for the HOCR brings a lot of activity to the Charles.
As the mornings grow colder, the hours of daylight shorter please remember to be above all safe and also courteous to all those who share the river.
Demonstrate your best safety and rowing etiquette during every row for a pleasant and memorable fall season.
