Rowing on the Snohomish

By Bill Jaquette

As the long oars dip below the rippling surface, the scull glides smoothly through the water. The rower rows, and the tall trees, cloud-filled sky, and lively riverbanks are reflected in the water-nature's beauty reproduced in the current. Bill Jaquette has been rowing for many years. His outings on the Snohomish River, located in the bountiful Pacific Northwest, began when he attended law school at the University of Washington. Started as an effort to obtain more physical exercise, these rowing excursions took on the added enjoyment of nature appreciation. Out on the river, Jaquette was able to take in the full splendor of the region-from identifying the many different bird species to witnessing the long-awaited emergence of spring's greenery. In this review of his experiences, Jaquette paints a picture of each season through the lens of the river, relating true stories of encounters with wildlife, landmarks, and other rowers. As temperatures change, so does the landscape-but the serenity of escaping the city remains a comforting constant. Become immersed in the fog of fall and the long, exploration-filled afternoons of summer through the memories of an experienced rower. For out on the river, there is much to see.
