Well it was definitely an early start to the day but everyone was surprisingly perky and bright for 4 o’clock in the morning! The drive to the start of the race didn’t seem that long and we were soon at the start of the race, we waited for Fern and Cathy to start but we unfortunately missed it and also missed there finish at the end but we managed to see Harriet and Richard’s starts.
Time whizzed on through the day as we followed and supported the crews round the course. (Driving in like the middle of nowhere is quite hard and I’m sure Nigel and Norman had a tough time finding places!) The crews looked to be doing well and Cathy always had a big smile on her face and seemed to really being enjoying herself!
We watched other crews and they had some odd boats and ways of portaging! There were always supporters standing by feeding the paddlers like pigeons which was quite a funny sight but some of the crews were really fast at portaging and were so swift!
Anyway it was a great day (only I think it finished too soon)! Well done and congratulations to all the crews paddling!
