Blazing Paddles
Jul. 20th, 2019 10:28 pmTime once again for the annual Fareham Raft Race! Will Rafty McRaftFace manage to keep their position for another year?
After the unsettled weather of the past few days today was gloriously sunny and stayed dry for the entire race (which caught me out - I was in the sun for all of an hour and got sunburnt!). The course was again a simple there-and-back - head up the creek (ideally with a paddle!) from the pub along the promenade, touch the wharf at the top, then paddle back down... into a blustery gale. Not all teams made it back to the start/finish line!
( Rafters, get ready... )
