A stormy, end of June weekend at Dexter Reservoir in Oregon didn't dampen the spirits of 5 Whatcom MASTERS who made the adventure to NW Regionals and brought home Silver (Mixed 2x) and Bronze (Womens 4x) medals as well as hardware for a composite team with MillTown (Gold - Mens 2x). We love taking the show on the road, we love sharing the boat with other teams and the Medals just broaden the smiles.

The Whatcom Rowing MASTERS took their rowing prowess on the road, north of the border to Cascadia Regional Regatta at Burnaby Lake in BC - which drew over 900 entries from as far East as Ottawa and as far south as California. WRA brought home 2 silver (Mixed 4x, Mens 2x) and bronze (Mixed 2x). We are super proud of our Learn to Row graduates who raced a novice 4x with great determination.
