Race in a regatta with Ashley

but we did race, raced very hard, luckily the course was not too long as I was about to blow up at the end! We were winning at the half-way point; I could hardly believe it!! Then they got the bend in their favour.

so we’d better start practising.

and we lost. We lost to some people from Dittons Skiff and Punting Club who were bigger and fitter than ourselves, but I must say that we did not skiff badly. We had a rather slow start, and we’ll have to work on improving that before Chertsey.

with Florence to cox and we started training for our race. Ashley started to nag me and I told him to stop it. But I’m still keen to do it.
