Townsville Gals Regatta – same terrific shirts, different year
|
|
Cath Hurley once again organised the Serious Yahoo crew to take part in the Townsville Gals Regatta on Rampallion, a boat based in Airlie Beach and owned by a syndicate of RBYC members. This is the fourth regatta for the boat this year with different crew each time, with the boat having competed at Airlie Beach, Hamilton Island Race Week and Magnetic Island Race Week. All the syndicate owners had the opportunity to compete together as a crew at Airlie. All regattas were great fun – no podium finishes but some very respectable results and terrific racing in a variety of conditions.

Greetings from Four Mile Lake, located in 'cottage country' in Ontario's Kawartha Lakes region. It's been a pleasant late summer weekend up here, with great swimming & kayaking conditions (photo below).

On the field: last Friday night Essendon suffered another heavy defeat, losing by 70 points to Collingwood. The Magpies' victory means that they are this year's minor premiers and will have home ground advantage throughout the finals.
