Thanks to pontoon cover, Sunday’s 1pm social rowing session will go ahead as normal – with nice dry feet as a bonus for the early crews!

Sadly, Troon have been forced to cancel their regatta on Saturday, due to an adverse weather forecast: strong winds and heavy rain! It’s a shame, as the town has a lovely beach and good facilities.

Saturday’s social rowing will be at 9am as usual, though falling tides will cut the session off by 1030.

Please remember that due to tides, there is no social rowing session on Sunday.

 

 

Alan D today handed me a thumb drive with his photos on it, taken on Saturday from on board Faithful, and I’ve uploaded them to Flickr. Click here to see the full album.

Here is just a sample:

Thanks Alan!
