Hmmm...

Rowing cognoscenti surveying the boat to be rowed...

Shez

Sheshemanzi, from the sharp end.

Getting technical

Setting height and pitch

Check!

John and Anthony survey Brian's work.

The slave pit

...where all the sweating and grunting will happen.

John Saner

...checking the blade pitch.

Brian Jeffes

...playing with his toys.

Putting to water

Getting ready to go out and face the course.

Sartorial elegance

The crew resplendent in new caps and tops.

Encore

More hardcore male elegance

After the race

Taking out the blades

Blades off

...while trying to learn how to walk upright again.

And now...

...we have to pick this damn thing up again...

Heave

...above heads - Go!

Taking back to trestles

Boats always feel heavier after rowing than before.

Back at the trestles

...please can we put it down?

Back in place

A number of the crew now standing around looking showing depleted energy levels.

Family day out
