Day. Shame, after lovely weather all month,
the bad weather was forecast for Saturday,
so on Friday the decision was made to cancel
the event.
Sadly
our own race day in the cove had to be cancelled
this year owing to a blip of south easterly
‘slop’… literally just a
few hours, but which would have made lining
up 20 gigs below the cliffs abit too dodgy,
and anyway it poured down all afternoon; not
much fun for umpires and starters. What was
gratifying was how many showed up for the
evenings’ entertainment: all the gang
from Newquay rowing club, Falmouth and even
further afield.
On
Saturday after a rainy mid morning it got
a bit better. Thanks to our friends from Devoran
Gig Club who came, we had an evening race
(no rules). Who cares who won, it was great!
This was great to get a thirst for our evening
event at the club house, good beer, hot food
and a band who entertained till late in the
night.
Also
many thanks to some Falmouth and Newquay members
who came for the evening.

You
just have to read this..
Loosing the Cox on a buoy turn!!!
and
"rowing with French sticks"
lol
This
is held every year to commemorate the
lives of two local fishermen lost at sea.
This years event was a bit unique with
the leading men in the Rose losing a cox
overboard on the last buoy turn. The Rose
however still won coxless leaving Buller
and Socoa to chase them. Well done boys.
The
womens (with a few men) wasn't quite
as exciting. Buller
lead up to the first mark but eventually
came second to the Rose. The excuses
coming from the crew in Rose included,
thanks to Mike "we may as well have
been rowing with french sticks rather
than these oars" , "they have
a lighter boat" "more men".
