Quotes and Testimonials

"CMI makes each and every row special"

"I was a collegiate rower for four years, but open water rowing along our beautiful and historic South Shore coast (oftentimes with seals as companions!) is an almost Zen-like experience, whether it be on a humid, flat-water day in July or a bumpy, windy row in May and October. Just as important, the fellow-rowers who comprise CMI make each and every row special. My college days may be long past, but every row with CMI makes me feel like a kid again." - Andrew Quigley

"Best thing I've done since moving to the area"

"I joined the CMI Learn to Row program last summer not knowing a thing about water sports or rowing in particular, one of the best things I’ve done since moving recently to the area. It’s been a fun challenge learning how to do something new, strengthen muscles and boost aerobic capacity, all while sitting mere inches from the water and enjoying fantastic views of the Cohasset Harbor. Also, everyone has been so friendly, a great way to meet new people!" - Sherri Caplan
