March 28, 2014. ~2:50 p.m., Schuylkill River, Philadelphia, PA.
Varsity 8+ Results:

Conditions were brutal as both boats took on water, but Drexel had to stop rowing to commence bailing with about 700 meters left in the race.
Strong headwinds measuring 5 to 15 mph at race start, averaging about 11 mph, but significantly stronger when nearing the Strawberry Mansion bridge and subsequently.
Temperature in ~55 degrees F. Cloudy skies. Occasional light rain.
Schuylkill River conditions at: 03/15/2014, 14:30, 6.43ft, 2.63kcfs.
Apologies for shaky video as much was shot with the long lense, which was very tough to hold stable in those conditions.
