We were pleased to welcome Mary from Yarrawonga for a row in the very high and rising Yarra this evening.  The turning point was the 2000m mark and we did very good ‘sprint’ to the finish line.  Lee had a wonderful story about ‘officiating’ at a rowing event on Saturday – he sat in the rain for some hours and lost the VRC radio in the river!
