Two sisters, one stretch of water, much splashing.

Coupeville’s Lucy and Sophie Sandahl were both in the water Saturday on the Montlake Cut in Seattle during the Windermere Cup Regatta.

Lucy, a senior at Seattle Pacific University, was the coxswain for a 8+ shell which competed against Western Washington, Gonzaga, and the University of Washington.

Meanwhile, Sophie, an SPU grad, rowed with a team out of Lake Washington in the women’s master’s race.

When she’s not hefting the blade herself, Lucy’s big sis is also coaching with the Renton Rowing Club.

The Windermere Cup Regatta, first launched in 1987, is part of the Seattle Yacht Club’s “Opening Day of Boating Season” celebration.

For Lucy and the current Falcons, the focus now turns to next week’s Great Northwest Athletic Conference Championships, which go down Saturday, May 18 at Lake Natoma in California.

It’s a squeaky-clean win-win.

Get your vehicle de-grimed at a car wash Saturday, June 3, and you can help Coupeville’s Scout Troop 4058 attend a bold hiking trip to New Mexico.

The crew of 13 scouts and their adult leaders are off to the famous Philmont Scout Ranch in late July for their adventure, which each member needing to cover $3,000 in travel expenses.

The car wash, set to go down in the parking lot at Coupeville’s Windermere Real Estate (5 South Main St.) kicks off at noon.

The minimum suggested donation is $10, but, if you’re feeling generous, let your wallet speak loudly.

Every dollar helps the scouts, who are heading to the home of the “Boy Scouts of America’s premier high adventure base.”

Philmont promises to “challenge scouts with more than 214 square miles of rugged northern New Mexico wilderness.

“Backpacking treks, horseback cavalcades, and training and service programs offer young people many ways to experience this legendary country” is their mantra.

They’re living on the water these days.

Coupeville’s Sophie and Lucy Sandahl were back in the boat Saturday, as Seattle Pacific University rowers competed in the Windermere Cup Regatta.

The event, which signals the start of boating season in Washington state, is held on the Montlake Cut in Seattle.

Hosted annually by the University of Washington, it brings in a stellar group of competitors.

This year that included the highly ranked Australian national teams, who vied with the U-Dub in the day’s final events.

The Sandahl sisters were in two different boats Saturday, with Lucy the coxswain for the varsity 4+ squad, which claimed 2nd place in its race.

Sophie rowed with the JV 8+ team, occupying the #7 seat as she and her group grabbed 3rd place.

SPU returns to action next weekend, when the Falcons travel to Oregon for the Great Northwest Athletic Conference Championships, which go down May 12-13.

After moving to Whidbey Island from South Carolina, the Sandahl sisters made a positive impact on Cow Town during their prep days.

Sophie, a college senior, began at Coupeville schools, then swam for Oak Harbor High School, where she earned her diploma.

Young sister Lucy played volleyball and competed in track and field at CHS, graduating with the Class of 2020.

Save your car before it looks like mine.

Avoid the ravages of prairie dust and Penn Cove moisture and preserve that show room gloss, all while helping out Coupeville’s loudest and proudest.

Swing by and let them take hose and scrub brush to your ride, and you’ll be helping the team’s veterans raise funds for their graduation night festivities.
