Gutted you were so close to making the Lighthouse. I'm amazed that there wasn't more gig clubs wanted to do this row, after all, our boats are built for this sort of thing! ... Probably all training in the gym for Newquay. My hands have made a remarkable recovery and and I'm not aching quite so much but man was it worth it. Anyway well done for a great row and Bristol will no doubt see you on the water for next years race. Well done mate, at least you went out there to do it.

My hands have made a remarkable recovery and and I’m not aching quite so much but man was it worth it.

Anyway well done for a great row and Bristol will no doubt see you on the water for next years race.

We were a bit miffed, Tamar, when we were turned around after the 3 hour time limit, only 200m from the lighthouse, apparently rules are rules. Hey Ho. Got back quicker than we went out though, not bad for a Vet Crew, bar one. Ages 64, 55, 50, 46, 44, 44 and 28.
