Tuesday 28th March: CGC Scillies Supervets men’s team training in Pothoustock beach je
Good session training with CGC for the first time at Porthoustock Beach near Coverack. Crew : Cox: Sophie, 6: Lilly, 5: Jon, 4: Gary, 3: Peter, 2: Me, 1: Andy. The launch off on the beach was interesting as rather rough and the boat filled with water until we rowed out of the in coming waves. Took some time emptying the boat of water with a bucket and a smaller containers before we could row. Then practiced starts 2 strong, followed by four powerful and long and then into long fast racing strokes for 2 minutes. We did several of these in rough swelly seas where we had to find the water. Good practice ready for the Scillies world championship race in a months time with plenty of time for training. Coming into the beach on the waves on the gig future was fun also. Looking forward to Mini Scillies at Helford if takes place axman weather looks bad.
