Special to the Sounder

Some of you have been to watch Orcas Island Rowing’s low key regattas in the past. But this one is special.

This time, two other rowing clubs are coming to Orcas to compete:  Lake Stevens Rowing Club  and Whatcom Rowing Association. This is only the second time ever we have had another club come to compete on Orcas and the first time ever we have had such a large contingent from two clubs.

Orcas, Whatcom and Lake Stevens are a triad of clubs that are the most three North Westerly clubs in the lower 48. So come on out and watch the spectacle on Cascade Lake. Racing begins at 1 p.m. on Saturday, March 23 and will run until 4 p.m. For the best views of the event, come to the Orcas Island Rowing boathouse at the south end of Cascade Lake.

Visit OrcasIslandRowing.org, email martin@orcasdigerati.com or call 376-6935 for more information. On the day, call the boathouse at 376-ROW2 for directions or information.
