It was originally called the Head of the Chattahoochee, due to its location in Georgia on the Chattahoochee river. The event became so popular that it outgrew its spot, moving to Chattanooga in 2005. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I knew that the regatta was held today, but I had not looked into it enough, so I did not realize it was an all-day, two-day event. I thought it was only a morning race. I had said to Derek, &#8220;Maybe we could go watch it another year, it&#8217;s too cold to be there right now.&#8221; (We just had a strong cold front go through and its been in the 30s in the morning.) <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the early afternoon I suggested we go to Bluff View to get drinks from Rembrandt&#8217;s Coffee House, and then walk across the Walnut Street Pedestrian Bridge. We first walked to the Bluff View overlook, and we just so happened to watch the start of a women&#8217;s 8 person team race. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We started to walk across the bridge and watched some more races there, along with hundreds of other onlookers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was neat to stumble upon something extra like that during our afternoon outing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-flickr wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-flickr\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<a data-flickr-embed=\"true\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/82942430@N03\/49002878957\/\" title=\"IMG_9413 by CWartillery1, on Flickr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/live.staticflickr.com\/31337\/49002878957_0b9ef84a85_c.jpg?resize=800%2C450&#038;ssl=1\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" alt=\"IMG_9413\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"><\/a><script async src=\"https:\/\/embedr.flickr.com\/assets\/client-code.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><figcaption>Click to play video. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-flickr wp-block-embed is-type-photo is-provider-flickr\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/82942430@N03\/49002139023\/in\/dateposted-public\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/49002139023_847a963b01_c.jpg?resize=800%2C533&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Head of the Hooch1\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-flickr wp-block-embed is-type-photo is-provider-flickr\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/82942430@N03\/49002881202\/in\/dateposted-public\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/49002881202_29d1ee7727_c.jpg?resize=800%2C533&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Head of the Hooch15\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-flickr wp-block-embed is-type-photo is-provider-flickr\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/82942430@N03\/49002133893\/in\/dateposted-public\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/49002133893_d801f02dc5_c.jpg?resize=800%2C533&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Head of the Hooch26\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-flickr wp-block-embed is-type-photo is-provider-flickr\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/82942430@N03\/49002679616\/in\/dateposted-public\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/49002679616_b615cd6f20_c.jpg?resize=800%2C533&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Head of the Hooch19\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a>\n<\/div><figcaption>The crowd up on the bridge watching the rowers. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-flickr wp-block-embed is-type-photo is-provider-flickr\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/82942430@N03\/49002880277\/in\/dateposted-public\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/49002880277_8894c7218c_c.jpg?resize=800%2C533&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Head of the Hooch20\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-flickr wp-block-embed is-type-photo is-provider-flickr\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/82942430@N03\/49002134718\/in\/dateposted-public\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/49002134718_d4daca2c20_c.jpg?resize=800%2C533&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Head of the Hooch21\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-flickr wp-block-embed is-type-photo is-provider-flickr\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/82942430@N03\/49002879407\/in\/dateposted-public\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/49002879407_57ded505b8_c.jpg?resize=800%2C533&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Head of the Hooch25\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Derek and I surprisingly found ourselves to be a part of a large watch party this afternoon of the Head of the Hooch Regatta.
