Bad Moon Rising

Weather:  Surprisingly mild mid-winter evening

Temp:  About 12

River Condition:  Dead flat but with rapid flow

River Level:   0.280m at falling 6:00pmo 0.200m at 7:00pm

Boat:  Mann

Rowers:  Jim, Gags, Neil

Beautiful evening . . .

We waited some time for other rowers to turn up . . . but when we realised that it was only us we naturally decided to head out in the ‘fastest tub pair on the river’.  And what a beautiful evening it was for rowing – we all commented on how lovely the reflected city lights looks in the wonderfully smooth and calm Yarra. 

 

Being the competitive lot that we are we of course ‘gave it our all’ for 4,000m to the point that Gags was pooped and the end of the row!  Perhaps it was the full moon that drove us on?

And there is a prize for the first person who can remember the combination for Jim’s locker for the week or so when he is away for his operation later this month – we will still need to use his lights and seat padding.
