Well, the 10th Mostly Annual Wellfleet Rowing Rendezvous was a great success!! We had about 24 boats and 80 people , the weather was beautiful, 100 Wellfleet Oysters disappeared pretty fast, and a great time was had by all. Many Thanks to our sponsors- SN Smith & Son Boatbuilders, South Shore Boatworks, Cape Cod Chapter TSCA, the Town of Wellfleet , and the crew at the Wellfleet Marina.
