Hugh's First Race

Hugh had his first race this weekend. He raced a double with Seftan, above, and a quad with Tim, John and Dave. They came 4th in the double and I think 4th in the quad too. Not bad for beginners! Race conditions were a bit rough, so the start was tricky.

The race was in a place called Champion lakes, which has 8 permanent lanes set up. Most of the Perth rowing clubs host their regattas there, so this weekend was our turn. Like a good wifey, I did the sausage sizzle. Note the heavy coats on everyone. 20 degreees and the Aussies are freezing.
