LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – A Clear Lake Scullers Women's master's double scull raced at the Wine Country Rowing Classic in Petaluma.
The regatta, held on Sunday, Oct. 23, features rowing and sculling events for open, collegiate, juniors and masters, attended by clubs and schools throughout Northern California.
Masters' events are adult events grouped and handicapped by age.
The double, a two person sculling boat, was raced by Annelle Durham of Upper Lake and Mireya Turner of Lakeport, both of whom learned to row as beginners at Clear Lake Scullers.
They are the first adult masters at the club to compete in a rowing event outside the county, though junior rowers and paddlers have competed in events in the past.
Turner and Durham won a silver medal in their category.
Clear Lake Scullers is a community based rowing and paddling club based in Lakeport.
Lessons are offered in the spring and summer, but there is still opportunity in the fall, weather permitting, to row in team boats and get beginner instruction, or join in and row if you have learned in the past. The club is setting up a facility in Lakeport for ergometer rowing as well.
Call Annelle Durham at 707-275-9315 for more information or email Mike Sullivan at

The event is being conducted under a special use permit issued by the Forest Service to the Oakland Motorcycle Club.
Additional enduro events are planned for the Fouts Springs area on the Grindstone Ranger District.
These events are scheduled for Sunday, Nov. 13, by the Valley Climbers and Sunday, Nov. 20, by the Richmond Ramblers.
The motorcycle enduro events are being held on designated roads and off-highway vehicle (OHV) trails.
The courses are not closed, meaning the routes will remain open for public use.
However, Forest visitors are encouraged to be aware of the following if they are recreating in the Fouts Springs area:
Pay close attention to signs in the event area indicating the route and the direction of travel – the event consists of one-way loops. If you are using part of an enduro route, you are encouraged to travel in the same direction, going with the flow of traffic.
Listen for traffic and, if driving in an enclosed vehicle, open the driver side window enough to be able to hear engine noise from approaching vehicles.
If you are driving, avoid cutting corners and stay to the right on the roads. For other recreational uses, avoid lingering on roads and watch for traffic.
These events typically draw hundreds of motorcycle riders and spectators to the area. Campgrounds near the event location are likely to fill up quickly.
The water for the Fouts Springs Recreation Area is currently shut-off until further notice.
As a result, the dump station at the site is also closed but will be available from 2:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. on the day of the event.
Forest visitors in this area will need to bring water with them for drinking and any other needs.
For more information, please contact the Mendocino National Forest at 530-934-3316.
