Unfortunately, I have never seen it in person, but I have seen plenty of spectacular photos.danwho wrote: Bob, you're never an interruption. BTW, have you considered joining The Eh! Team? Canada is a beautiful country, eh?
As far as joining is concerned, I do appreciate an invitation. I have found your team inspiring in many ways — spirit, friendliness, ingenuity (the round the world row is a great concept), and general team spirit. However, I have (had?) my own (one member) team, the “Owens Lake Yacht Club.” (FYI: Over one hundred years ago an eighty foot steamer plied the waters of Owens Lake. Those waters have long since been drained away to fill the swimming pools of the City of Los Angeles.)
Then, on this thread, there was a flurry of messages about being able to belong to more than one JVC team at once. I thought that this was a bit strange, but finally decided, “What the heck? Why not take advantage of it?” I spotted that my old OTW club, the Long Beach Rowing Association, had organized a JVC team under the same name. I am no longer an actively participating member of LBRA since I moved inland. However, I have maintained a supporting membership and found that I was eligible to join the JVC group. I have done this and noted yesterday that I was listed as being on the two teams, as were a number of other participants.
Today, it was a different story. With a 15k workout plus warm ups and a cool down, I racked up almost 22k for the day. I entered it all in my logbook and checked the status the “OLYC” and did not find it listed any more. It looks like belonging to two clubs has backfired. In any case, I would be very leery about adding another club at this point.
Have any of your group run into problems with joint membership in the two Canadian teams?
