It's in their blood!

This weekend, they will be attending the annual "Icebreaker" Northeast Regional Youth Open-Water Rowing Championships out of the Windmill Point Boathouse, Boston, Massachusetts.

The "Icebreaker" draws 200 of the region's best youth open-water rowers - from Boston Harbor, Lake Champlain, Martha's Vineyard, Maine's North Haven and Vinalhaven, New Haven and Avery Point Ct., New York City, Plymouth and Sciuate, who compete for the coveted "Key to the Harbor".

The youngsters race throughout the day in a series of round-robin style heats, culminating with a huge nautical mile race across the bay.
