Rowing: Aberdyfi Regatta Wind Direction: SW Wind Stength: 1-2 Surf / Sea State: Lumpy Air Temperature: teens Sea Temperature: Weather: mixed Max Speed: Distance Covered: 3 (Nautical Miles - unless stated otherwise)
Borth fielded 2 crews for the aberdyfi regatta today in somewhat mixed
conditions. the ladies race started on a flooding tide with a south
westerly light wind making outward rowing tough but easier on the way back
in using the waves to our advantage with a bit of surfing. once the water
flattened back in the estuary the ladies lengthened their stroke and glided
past barmouth's crew though everybody had to work at full throttle to get
there. with a 3 mile course they all did really well.
the weather changed in time for the mixed crew race with the wind picking
up and a downpour of rain. the course was altered half way through the race
due to worsening conditions leaving us slightly disadvantaged as we were in
a great position for the original course. however we managed a top notch
turn around the marker buoy gaining advantage over the barmouth boat just
ahead of us. the mixed crew also managed to pass barmouth once the water
flattened and the stroke lengthened. we did really well in both races,
turning well and really stretching out on the flatter water, and keeping in
there over the choppy lumpy stuff on the way out.
well done everybody. looking forward to the next race - barmouth 5th
august.
