A viewer sent in some photos of the Ladies practicing, thanks for that, hope you enjoyed it Peter. Thanks to Peter Suddaby for the 2 photos he emailed us (Greg July 2008)

Hi Greg, I am glad to hear from you, thanks for replying. I was hoping my humorous titles hadn't upset you all! I know gig racing is a serious competitive sport, and perhaps it was a bit unfair of me to take snaps of the ladies before they had got organised. Of course, once they were into their 'stride' they were soon a speck on the horizon.

I was really pleased to be there, and especially as it was ladies training. It must take a lot of courage to take a gig out on the "high seas" and I had assumed before that it was just a men-only sport.

I hope your seasons' events are going well. Kind regards, Peter
