On a perfect evening there was a good turnout, with 13 boats on the start line and some more spectating to see what its all about. John De Villiers notably absent. Finch is one up early in the season. Great to see Robin Van Rooyen back on our waters and the Rabies back in action assisting Daniel getting started. Krisztina and Balu made their 10km debut in K1. Weldone
With the Club House being closed there was a social gathering under the stars in the time keepers corner that went off extremely well. The R10/beer incentive to gather and chat was enjoyed by all.
The last turning buoy had been removed and this caught unfamiliar paddlers out , namely Robin Van Rooyen whose time reflected this by approximately 3 minutes.
Next week there will be a brief AGM(if Finch sticks to brief) after the time trial before getting into to socialising mode.
