PNPGC Long Row training for the Great River race. Cox:Wendy, 6: Jem, 5: Julie, 4: Steve, 3: Me, 2: Alison 1: Trevor with Sarah who later replaced Alison half way. Very choppy seas and cloudy making the row challenging 😥 which was good for training . Lot’s of sing shanties to keep people amused such as a drop of Nelson’s blood 🩸. Alison ended up soaked from a large wave that partly came over the boat in the pilot seat.

in summary Penzance Harbour, round the Mount and back.

Training row to Newlyn Harbour and back. Morladron and Fort- itude taken out on choppy waters. Cox m: Wendy 6: Jem, 5:Julie, 4: Steve, 3: Sarah 2: Me and 1: Janice
