Windermere Cup

Saturday we went to the Windermere Cup Regatta - a rowing competition here in Seattle. The races are held on the Montlake Cut, which is a canal of water between Union Bay and Portage Bay. It's a pretty big deal. Apparently it's one of the most celebrated rowing competitions in the world.

The teams competing this year were: The University of Washington, Stanford, Oklahoma, and Cambridge. Yes, Cambridge. (And who knew Oklahoma had a rowing team? Wonder where they train...)

We walked over to the cut on the trails along Union Bay. So we got to see all the yacht's lining up along the course...

And the actual Montlake Cut...

And finally, the finish line and Portage Bay.

It was pretty awesome. What made it even better is UW swept their races. Go Huskies!
