This year's regatta was about 1000% nicer than last year, as it was a warm clear day with little to no wind, rain, hypothermia, or waves. Or deer swimming in the river at the finish line. There was some trepidation about how the flight system was going to work, but it seemed to work just fine. Overall, the NRC had such a good time at this regatta that I am sure we'll go back next year, and get killed by some sort of late season inland hurricane, or a herd of bison crossing the Tennessee River. But hey, that's what southern rowing is all about, right? Read on to see all of the results of the 2010 Hobbs Island Regatta.

The Nashville Rowing Club joined hundreds of teams from regional rowing clubs, colleges, and high schools on the Tennessee River in Chattanooga last Saturday (October 9) for a 5,000 meter race from the mouth of South Chickamauga Creek to the finish line at Ross' Landing.

At the Masters Nationals, a man walked with a cane and could barely stand upright, but what you noticed was that medal hanging around his neck. As he walked down the sidewalk people would all congratulate him on his accomplishment, and you could tell by the smile he was proud of that medallion. It was not until I retured to Nashville that I realized who this man was and how big his accomplishment really was.
