Well it certainly made up for being a scorcher at the April regatta. The photos from this weekend were mainly taken during gaps in the rain or from the shelter of a coat, as the Girls D K1 1000 metres shows.
My weekend was dominated by coming 2nd to Howard in Masters B K1s, although I can blame the result in the 5km race on a snapped rudder line. The 2nd lap without a rudder was not quite so much fun as the first. All of them were enjoyable races though. Thanks to Beth for the photos.
Mine isn't the only repair needed though. Shobhanna's was slightly more out of the ordinary. It highlights the need for proper weights, as the splits in the bottom of her boat that opened like a gaping mouth, were the result of the bag of stones under the seat pushing through. She actually deserves credit for finishing 4th in her 1000 metre final carrying half a boat of water.
Alice fitted a few races into her busy life, before heading off to play football for Notts. She was probably most pleased with the Girls D K2 she did with Beth, but did the Girls Lightning A race as well.
