04-Jun-09: We're in the middle of the racing season and so our crews are out on the river practicing their "pieces" and starts.  Keep a good look out for other boats when on the water to avoid collisions. Just a shout of 'take a look' is all it takes. Don't assume that the bow man in the other boat has seen you!  If you see congestion on your way up the river, warn others coming down to keep a look out.
