Competitive Spirit Still There!
That sorted them out then!

What a lovely evening for rowing.  Our ‘normal’ stroke Jim is still on a Tassie tour but we managed very well without him!  Peter stepped into the hot seat and set a cracking pace – and we came across another crew (coxed quad) that just had to beaten . . . so we did! 

We were really impressed with Mitch's passing manoeuvrer just under the Morell Bridge . . . get the nose in front and then slam the door shut.  It was a classic motor cycle racing move!  Mitch also commented that from now on we are going to row at a faster pace so as to get more stability into the boat.
