Been meaning to get this shot up since I took it heading home on the 10th. It was the first day I saw the crew teams out on the river. I only caught these two boats heading back under the bridge. Managed to snap three shots all just before the catch blades in the air. As I started riding away and I looked back south over the bridge I could see an armada of 8s and 4s... I just managed to catch these last two 8 legged water striders.
Along the sames lines as the ruins of detroit I linked to a few days ago, skinny sent me this link to Art in Ruins RI/. Stuff like the old Providence Cycledrome. I got a case of goose bumps reading about the history of the track. Pretty damn cool... Ya learn something new everyday.

Racing season is coming up for Crew. Those guys look pretty good. Must be going fast because they're barely clearing their puddles. Thanks for the shot.
yeah -the chase boat's wake is an okay indicator of the speed as well.
These guys were drilling it pretty good, the other shots show the trailing boat's blade angles to be not nearly as even or balanced as the lead boats...
Ya may or may not recognize the blades as an indication of the level of seriousness the program has here. I think the men's program just celebrated their 150th year.
