While coach Dave was away many of your peers rallied together and put themselves in coach boats so that rowing could continue as scheduled. You may have noticed a familiar face watching you as you passed by or tailing you to make sure your navigation up the course was going well. In a few different cases you may have also received a tip or two. These people are same ones that volunteer time and again to be out in the launch instead of in their own crews pulling on oars. It goes without saying that the cast of characters should be thanked whole-heartedly for their time and effort. Please take note.
I would personally like to thank the following friends who stepped up to help out.
