Reflections on Rowing the Snohomish

Bill Jaquette's passion for rowing began in the days of law school at the University of Washington. From the shores of Lake Washington, he would gaze out beyond the shore, watching the campus crews glide through the lake. Beckoned by the tranquil call of nature, he purchased a shell. Out on the water, he found a welcome respite from his studies, and soon rowing became his enduring passion.

This book is a stunning account of one man's adventures rowing on Washington's Snohomish River. Highlighting the physical benefits of rowing as exercise, this book also explores rowing in solitude, and the motivation and camaraderie that rowing can bring.

In this extended edition of Rowing on the Snohomish, Jaquette reflects on the seven years since the first publication of the book, taking the reader along on his adventures throughout the seasons, exploring environmental changes and the inexorable passage of time. Through his eloquent narrative, he captures the ever-evolving Snohomish river, and his deepening connection to its waters.
