Oar’ Dacious Wins!

Up until 11:30 yesterday morning Debbie Giacalone Kelly was prepared to coach the crew on to victory. But then she got the call that a rower had injured her arm and could Debbie take her place. Debbie hadn’t rowed in 2 years. Her arm’s been bothering her. But she said “Yes” and the rest is history! The crew celebrated at the Dog Bar in style! What a night!

Congratulations to the Oar’Dacious crew!

    Great shots Sharon! I’m glad you got the seine boats,the light and all the boats from where I was anchored wouldn’t do them justice.

    Sharon, as one of the captain’s of Oar’Dacious I would like to thank you for such great shots. Seems the woman don’t get nearly the same coverage as the men, but you are always with your camera!!

    I am sure that some of the girls would love to get copies of some of these pics. Let me know how that works.
    Thanks,
    Nikki Parisi

      I am so happy that you won! I make a point of getting those Friday shots that no one else takes the time to get. We women can take care of our own! Just email me at sharone.lowe@verizon.net for more info on getting copies of the photos.
      Again- Big congratulations!

    Thanks Sharon…..you always take the BEST pics!! You are a true professional….as well as my friend!! Guess the “old lady” still has it huh? Nothing like not rowing for 2 years then getting to be a part of this fantastic crew. These girls should be very proud of themselves!!! They worked so hard all week and deserve every bit of congratulations they receive! I look forward to next year!

    Sharon, thank you for the time you took to get some great shots of the Women’s Seine Boat race. I posted on Facebook the site so that people who wanted to view them, could. I hope you get some business from them as the shots you took were wonderful, per usual for you. You are always there. Just wanted to say thank you.

      Hey Joanne!
      Thanks for the posting on Facebook. I’m going to figure out a way to display prints (Nikki mentioned a get-together) so it’s easier to see all of them at once.
      Congratulations again! :)
