Day 3 M2

Bumped FaT IV

The conditions today were, to put it mildly, far from ideal. After a lot of discussion about whether the boats in the W3 division would be rowing fast enough to avoid drifting back down the reach (it turns out they were, just), and Ivan fitted his new (smaller) shoes, we eventually got the boat out to drift down to Chesterton for marshalling.

Day 2 M1

Looking at various videos, we realised that we had got pretty lucky yesterday. While we had the speed to catch Caius, they were terribly close to LMBC before we got out act together. Today was going to be different.

Bumped Caius III

Caius III had ruined our M3 race on Tuesday, and we were out to exact revenge. Again, we made sure we were on station in plenty of time, this time in beautiful sunshine. The plan, again, was simple - get a better start than the previous race, settle into a steady stride, and grind them down.

Rowed Over

The W3 division had a massive pile-up at the top of the division, meaning the whole division had to be re-rowed. This caused us an hour delay, marshalling in the snow, as the sandwich boat. Also, as we marshalled about 500m away from the rest of the division, we were pushed off late and ended up not being on station for the 4-minute gone. We were eventually spun and at the bank with 2 minutes to go - not exactly ideal preparation!
