The Hutchinson River Run
Our river, I-95 to the bay, in a single. Under 95, down past Co-op City, under the Parkway, round Goose Island, through the railroad bridge and Shore Road and out into the bay. Every bridge, every green and every red where it really is. Your catch is the throttle and your pressure is the rudder; Sally calls the race.
CatchSpace, up arrow, or both thumbs together. Meet the catch: early lifts the rate, late drops it, missing the water costs you the stroke.
SteerLeft and right arrows for pressure. On touch, the first thumb in is the pressure side; one thumb alone is hard pressure, half the boat.
BuoysGreens to starboard, reds to port. The wrong side of either is 30 seconds.
BridgesOne span under 95 and the Parkway; the centre span at the railroad and Shore Road. A pier stops the boat dead; the timber fenders steer you through.
SallyA power ten at the Hutchinson River Bridge, the railroad bridge and Shore Road.
TrafficA slower crew is out there. Contact with it is 30 seconds.
Made for tablets and laptops. It plays on a phone, but the river gets narrow.
14 minutes of race in 3:00. Time is the score; the line is the story.
