Well this morning we went for a long paddle. Approximately 12km away from our boathouse (yes 12km, we have a long stretch of river) a footplate broke from one person, and a rigger broke from another person.
Oh yes, and both on stroke side.
So cue rowing back Bow 4 (I sit at bow) for 5km, then having fixed something with the footplates rowing back in 6s.
Oh and upstream, and against the outgoing tide which was quite strong today.
Longest.Outing.Ever.
8am outing. Back at 11.45am. Gutted.
