When will I learn to say "NO" FFS lol Was hard graft on Tuesday night, rowing into an easterly wind with the tide against, was nice coming back with the tide though!! Luckily we wont have the force of tide on the channel you have against as you are coming out of an estuary at Exmouth and it's really bottle necked, just some heavy swell I guess! Happy we have another few days practicing though, we'll do Sat and Sun mornings then probably out again Tuesday evening... fingers crossed for next weekend then. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Nice one Ken, it's hard graft that, fair play to your girl.. It looks a lot like Dragon Boats We entered the Dragon Boat racing when I was 18 or so, we had a few beers and thought we'd just take it for a laugh... then the competitive edge kicked in... we managed in our last race to get a good enough time to qualify for the nationals at Holne Pier Point... we never went though, that was too much like hard work!! lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Take my hat off to you butty, fair play to you all. It didn't look the calmest in that estuary and a bit of chop and you can't get the power to the oars. Hopefully it'll be nice and calm for the crossing. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
