Wednesday
Bumped Downing
Bumped Downing
Good start, dropped all, 43 on wind, 37 in Gut, 36 on Plough Reach, 37 out of Ditton (on one length). They blew up/fell apart in the reach and ran to the outside of the corner. We got clean water and pwered alongside. Their 7 man hit our bows with his blade. BUMPED!!
Incredible, HEAD OF THE RIVER, and around 40-50 people on the bank, cheering!

Rowed over

Had an average to good row, but never really got anywhere near King's. It looked as though they never really knew what to do once King's had held them on the start and through the corners.
Thursday
Bumped King's
Bumped King's
Bumped Kings at the Railings in much the same way as we got Downing. They were all very fired up after watching us go head.

They thought they had got them, and had to re-row on Saturday, but it didn't go their way.

Bumped LMBC V
Bumped LMBC V
Apparently, it was later suggested by LMBC that we had cheated by changing the crew. "How else," they asked, "could you have bumped us back after we bumped you last week?" Simple really:
a) You're Maggie.
b) We had increased the number of outings as a crew by 100%.
As bow, I had the pleasure of shouting at their cox to acknowledge. Which they then did...
