Beautiful day for rowing 🚣🏿 with sunny ☀️ skies and real calm sea. Cox: Wendy, 6: Kevin, 5: Julie, 5: Trevor, 3: Emma, 2: Nobody, 1: Me. Good few long rows with a couple of racing starts and plenty of Banter.

Back from a month not doing much exercise other than a few walks with Fudge and a swim. Nice easy row to get back into it with Cox: Julie/Wendy 6:Jem, 5: Kevin, 4: Stu, 3: Chris, 2: Michelle, 1: Me as crew. Felt quite good in cloudy/ misty and rainy 🌧️ conditions with slight chop. Plenty of technique training as Stu was a new rower. The second crew row was cancelled due to deteriorating weather. Went for a beer in Longboat with Trev.

A Social gig row towards the Mount and back. Long solid row on a sunny evening with a breeze and slight choppy seas. Cox: Wendy, 6: Steve, 5: Julie, 4: Gaz, 3: Me, 2: Trev, 1: Emma

The first crew row which was mainly focusing on technique and racing starts. Cox: Julie/ Wendy, 6:Jo, 5: Jem, 4: Kerry, 3: Jayne, 2: Me, 1: Kevin. We raced against the big blue boat below.

The second row was at a slower constant paced row for endurance: Cox; Wendy, 6: Kerry, 5: Julie, 4: Steve, 3: Trevor. 2: Me, 1; James. Two rows was a good comeback row which gave me gig arse.

After a busy week on a PNPGC social row with a couple of newer rowers which ended up quite exciting as we had to quickly row out to assist on a canoe that capsized with two individuals in the water which was quite cold. The lifeboat was called over the radio that beat us to it but we did retreive the paddle. It was quite choppy and windy and the individuals were picked up by the lifeboat and taken ashore to be transported to the local hospital by ambulance. The row back was against the wind and water became choppy. Crew was Coxs; Jim/Wendy 6: Jem, 5: Julie, 4: Gaz, 3: Me. 2: Chris, 1: Ivan, passenger and stand in rower for Ivan, James. Started on technique until incident and during the fast row out to the individuals in water. James and Jim took over from the newer rowers. Exciting row,

Two crew rows on first row for a while on a slow come back to fitness Cox: Wendy 6: Tina, 5: Julie, 4: Steve, 3: Gillian, 2 Me, 1: Michelle on second Trev came into 3 and replaced Julie in 5 as she coxed. Quite flat seas and sunny 😎 with clouds ⛅️. Slight breeze. Lots of race starts and fast power rowing 🚣🏿 So much for easing into it.

Easing back to competitive rowing 🚣🏿 with a slow relaxed row with a mixed crew of a few experienced and newer rowers. Cox: Wendy 6: Kevin 5: Julie, 4: Dietmar, 3:Ant, 2: me 2: Ivan
