crews this morning pushed off early and later claimed that they thought it was
okay since other novice crews had pushed off.  This is completely
wrong.  The time which you can push off is determined by the lighting down
times and the relevant rules governing novice boating.  If you push off early,
regardless of whether other boats pushed off in front of you, then your club
will be fined.  So, check your watch before getting your rowers to push
off.</span></font></p>
