Tuesday 2400 Row, row, row, your boat!

It has been a long hot day for the Topsham Toe water – quite often the wind has died to nothing and the strong currents have meant that rowing is the only way to have steerage way. Mike is now chief rowing coach and they have rung the changes on the music to row to replacing last nights Queen with Santana. This put them in peak condition for a coxed pair competition with two Sigmas. Fortunately this was interrupted by a return of a breath of wind. They remain locked in battle for 11th place with Helly Hansen UK and Starship.
Morale seems remarkably good aboard Topsham Toe despite the frustrations of their long light weather sail. David and Marilyn Rochester , the shore team, were very positive about the race this afternoon.
