The Long Lake Rowing Club had an official christening and boat naming party for their new coaches boat over the weekend. The boat has been named the "Casper" because it's white, it's wake is non-existant (ghostly) and most importantly, it's friendly—like the friendly people and the friendly waters of Long Lake. The junior team and their parents, as well as a dozen new master rowers, several board members, along with honorary member (and former National Team member) Carolyn Leavenworth were all on hand to toast the maiden voyage of Casper, the friendly launch.

While most vessels around Lake Minnetonka were being pulled from the water and readied for winterization, Todd Wilson was launching a pair of boats last week. Wilson is the founder of the new Long Lake Rowing Club and is on a mission to make Long Lake the state’s new rowing hot bed—a quest not being cooled off by the arrival of fall’s brisk temperatures. Pam Kearney and her daughter, Lucy, joined Wilson on Long Lake last Friday for a morning on the water. For mom and daughter, the club has provided a chance to get some exercise and, more importantly, spend quality time together outside “It’s really cool because this is one of the only things that she and I have started together,” said Lucy, a freshman at Orono High School. “Everything else…
