With two of my teammates. The guy in the hat, with a full beard, was my seat-mate. We were the BACK ROW.
It was a BLAST. So glad I did it. We had so much fun.
Our boat, with 16 paddlers, 1 steerer & 1 drummer took part in 3 races. We WON ALL THREE! That was pretty amazing given that this was an ad hoc, scratch team. We had never practiced. together.
We had 4 Jamaicans on our team. One was with me on the back row. We had fun.
This was good.
Glad we did it.
I heard about this EXCITING event — right up my alley — last year, BUT it was too late to get a spot on a boat.
Not so, this year. Furthermore, THE ORGANIZER, ‘Pat Anderson‘, is a senior member of the ‘Laconia Rotary Club‘ — my club. So, it was EASY. I was on her boat.
