Coves first ever Beach Sprints today, after one practice at Browns Bay! Challenging conditions (and being a bit stoopid) led to the senior mixed double (okay.... Mark) going the wrong side of the first two buoys. 1 minute penalty and.... out.
Mark was doing well in the mens single until his blade got stuck in a wave and another wave flipped the boat on his head (see photo). But, he was the only rower (up until we left at 3pm), with about a dozen falling victim to waves, who capsized, righted the boat, got back in and finished the course. The crowd cheered... but he was out.
A good time had. Many thanks to Izzy and Adam from Cairndhu for being our boat handlers. Thanks to LPRC for organising a great weekend.
