16 Years Later

Last Sunday Mark had his first row in 16 years. Back in the olden days...I mean before Mark moved to the US, he was a member of the Collaroy Surf Club where he rowed and competed in Surf Boats. This was a huge part of Mark's life, the teams, the winning, the loosing, the friends. I've seen the boats, met the friends and heard soooo many stories.

Last week Collaroy Surf Club celebrated their 100th year as a club. As part of the celebrations the kids and I got to see Mark in action for the first time in 16 years. The kids LOVED seeing daddy rowing the boat (Scout is still telling everyone) and I enjoyed seeing Mark with the "old timers" win a few races. Luca is already talking about when he will be rowing. Mark had a blast and was beaming all day, even if he was so sore he had a hard time walking! -kel
