Harbor View Yacht Club offers yacht charter in the beautiful lakes that surround Lake Sinclair, Lake Logan and Lake Erie. There is only one restriction imposed on your chartering here and that is that you have to be over 18 years of age. The club operates two charters a day during peak seasons (Mondays to Fridays). The boats are large enough for up to six guests and you can choose from many different routes that take you around the lake. You can choose the route that goes through Cedar Point, Harbor Island or through the islands and down towards Ohio Beach. The boats generally sail from the dock at Harbor View Yacht Club, sail around to Harbor Island and back

It is believed that people owe the appearance of the first stirrups to the Indians of the 2nd century AD. Side straps with small rings at the lower ends were apparently adapted to the saddle design for the first time - the design helped the rider when landing on the horse. Stirrups are intended to assist the rider in getting on the horse and as an additional support during the ride, but it is not a necessary attribute for its successful implementation. In some cases, with improper use or poor quality, it can cause injury and even death of the rider...

A True Story of Love "When I finished everyone screamed and applauded and everyone walked up to me and said, 'You walked down the aisle like a man, you played the very best guitar!' Everyone was very emotional; they were so excited, everyone was very thankful that I was able to walk another day, it's a real blessing to walk another day. That is when I realised that there are more people walking around with a guitar in their hand than when I first walked up the aisle." David Cook, Full Sail University in Texas. Goldstone hopes to have more scholarships awarded in a similar fashion in the future. David started his story in the year 1997 and since then

[Top: Actors Armie Hammer and Josh Pence row in a Harvard Eight as twins Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss. Bottom: Harvard Varsity Eight 2004. Photo via Row2k.com] The Social Network film directed by David Fincher and written by Aaron Sorkin finished off the last scenes of shooting this weekend at the Henley Royal Regatta (all regatta pictures are HERE). The Regatta, one of the three Royal British sporting events of the year (others include Wimbledon and Ascot) features crews from all over the world and spectators whose drink of choice are Pimm's cups. Actors Armie Hammer and Josh Pence, who play the twin American rowers and entreprenuers Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss were on site to film rowing scenes from the film. In addition, Max Minghella, who plays Divya Narendra (friend and ConnectU business partner of the twins) was also present for the filming. Divya met his film personality for the first time... Divya Narendra and his film persona Max Minghella Filming at the Regatta, which is as old-fashioned as they come, was no short order...16 cameras were strategically placed around the race course and hidden so as not to be obtrusive and have the most realistic setting as possible. Filming was done during the lunch break and team time in the afternoon. There were only two takes, so the pressure was on! The 2004 Grand Challenge Cup Final between the Harvard University Varsity Eight and the Dutch Olympic Eight. The Dutch would go on to win a Silver Medal at the Athens Olympic Games two months later. Are those guys signing a "W"? Cameron Winklevoss, Armie Hammer, Tyler Winklevoss, Josh Pence, Divya Narendra Seeing men in pink suits at the Henley Regatta is not unusual in the slightest Crowds line the banks to watch the races in the Stewards Enclosure

The cheers that broke out at the Cambridge Boat Club 15 minutes into the Women’s Championship Singles were deafening. Newton’s own Gevvie Stone, bow number one in the race, was speeding around the bend, sustaining the marked interval between her and bow number three Kim Crow. Four minutes later – four minutes, six seconds and 88 hundredths of a second, to be precise – Stone crossed the finish line in a personal-best time of 19:06.88, to win her fourth Head Of The Charles title, leaving two Olympic medalist in her wake. Double London medalist Kim Crow of Austrialia was second, a little over 13 seconds back, and 2009 Championship Singles winner Ursula Grobler of South Africa took third with a time of 19:31.34. Olympic gold medalist Miraslava Knapkova was fifth. After accepting her fourth Cambridge Boat Club Plate at Saturday night’s awards ceremony, Stone said the cheering she heard along the way was invigorating. “There was a lot of noise out there and it was awesome. I’m lucky to have that support, ” she said. “And the cheers make me conscious. Like, ‘OK, people know me. I’d better look good. Better look like I’m pulling hard.’” Rowing her home course gave Stone a great advantage, she acknowledged. Along with the support of her boat club, a familiarity with the Charles’s nuances boosted her confidence on the water. “I steered maybe my best race ever, ” she said. “That helped me a lot. I just went out there to try to have fun and try to haul on it and yeah, go as hard as I could.” But Stone has faced some disadvantages too. Despite her experience with the course, her schedule in medical school has left her with minimal practice time. “I started med school eight weeks ago and I’ve been in the hospital about 12 hours a day, five days a week and a few weekend days, ” she explained. “I mean I was training a lot through the end of August. So I think I had that base that fortunately I was able to do a little bit of leaning back on.” Stone will join forces with Crow and Knapkova Sunday as the Women’s Great Eight team in the Championship Eights. “It was fun to have Kim and Mirka row and we get to row again tomorrow, ” Stone said. “The girls are amazing. We’ve had a lot of fun practicing and during team dinners. So we expect to have a lot of fun tomorrow too.” With the cheers, the familiarity and the friendships, the race was a highlight of the Regatta that, for Stone, is among the most fun events of the year. “Being on your home course, with so much support and knowing the turns is an incredible experience, ” she said. “It’s always one of my favorite weekends of the year, if not my favorite weekend of the year.”
