Karachi Boat Club

I got to spend a few days in Karachi where the hospitality was boundless. It was wonderful to see our good friends, the Ikrams and the Siddiquis again. I got to row with Tariq as well as coach his double and then give a short talk at the Boat Club on Technique. Aisha and Kiran demonstrated drills and technique in a double, and I finally got to meet a lot of names they would always talk about in the US.

  • Tariq and I got in a quick row at the end of the evening.
  • I handed my camera to Aisha...and I got a lot of pictures that I have no clue on what is really going on.

  • Sama.
  • Tariq and I back from our row. The weather was verypleasant but I was still soaked in sweat.
  • Me and Tariq after the row.
  • The three musketeers. They share one common trait, they have all rowed for Linda.
  • A quick group picture. The board on the back has the regatta schedule laid out.
  • Tariq's double partner Anil has a medal from the Asian Games in the 90's. They are going to go after the National Championships this year.
  • A single sculler on the creek.
  • Tariq and Anil launching from the dock.
  • The novice centipede is an unchanging thing from the US to Karachi.
  • Tariq and Anil on the creek while I coached them.
  • The gathering at the Boat Club. Apparently 120 people signed in. Arif gets a lot of credit for this vibrant rowing community.
  • After the demonstration Sama (who was coached by Linda in 2006) and Daanika rowed in a double to get pointers on technique. As is normal at KBC, the boats are put in the water by the assistants on the dock.
  • Daanika and Sama on the water.
  • This seems to be a pretty tightly knit group. Just like any other rowing team they tend to socialize within the club.
