BROOKE WHITLING
Warring tides
In brisk Boston Octobers, the Charles River teems with thousands of boats—rhythmic water striders that skim the surface, moving only through plunging oars and grit. For two days, the water remains disturbed by the coming and going of rowing singles, doubles, fours, and eights. Four hundred thousand people line the river and crowd its bridges to catch a glimpse of the largest rowing competition in the world—the Head of the Charles Regatta.
