Fastest Tub Pair on the River!


Weather:  Fine but windy
Temp:  About 13

River Condition:  Calm except in the unprotected areas
River Level:   0.105m at 10:00am rising to 0.252m at 11:00am

Boat:  Mann
Rowers:  Carolyn, John and Neil


And then there were three . . .
Three would be rowers turned up this morning and we took the easy option of rowing the Mann.  John took up his customary position of ‘captain’ of the ship and expertly steered to the 2,000m mark and back leaving Carolyn and me to do all the work!  The general consensus was that both stroke and bow sides rowed very well both individually and together!  As Jim would say – we were the fastest tub pair on the river!

However, the main topic of conversation concerned the repairs to the ramp.  Does anyone know what is happening?   As a casual obverser it appears as if some very sturdy barriers have been constructed around a few boards that need replacing.  I asked Jenny Yann and even she doesn't know what is going on.  Still, I guess the engineers know what they are doing.

Does anyone know the plan?
