Australian National Coastal’s Mooloolaba. We missed the first two days of full training and our distance races were canceled. Glen and Penni competed in the Open singles today. Both completing two beach sprints each. We did pretty well in some wavie conditions out the back of the course. Tomorrow are double and quads so looking forward to that

What an absolutely AMAZING week we have had. At the Australian National Masters. The experience was second to none we had a gold medal won by our newest master Alex. We had a final for our 4 in which we came seventh and a semi final in the double. We were all so proud of each other’s achievements. Our club is just the most supportive environment.

This weekend was not only a stunner but an amazing experience for all the crew. Tas Masters. We had great water and some really great times from the boats. Got our catches in earlier (we are getting better). Our newbies Jaith, Fliss and Michelle. Did the most amazing job on and off the water. And to the rest of us big massive pats on the back. A fun weekend. Comment over heard from another club of the weekend from Libby. That club has a lot of fun.

Lake Barrington SP6. Glenorchy competed in multiple races. Everyone of us had success on the water. From July winning and rowing in her first singles race. To penni and Nicky almost winning on a photo finish. Improving times is our bucket rigged four. The eight race where we lost time with a big crab but kicked into high gear and was catching up to the pack. Jaith rowing in his first Regatta races ever and having the time of his life. To having Ange back in the boat was fantastic. We all improved our times and most importantly we all had an absolute ball doing it. Of course we couldn’t have done it without our support crew umpire Keith and our super cox coach Denise. Not to mention the crew that stayed home
Doing things hind the scenes.

Today we participated in the Sandy Bay Coastal regatta. Teaching the young kids how to race in the rough conditions was so much fun launching and finishing on the beach. Was great that it was windy, made for some good action and gave them a great feel for what these awesome boats can really do. The smile on everyone’s faces as they jumped out was priceless. We so enjoyed the whole experience and we had many inquiries about the boats. Thankyou to TUBC for the lend of their trailer made transport much easier. Thankyou to everyone that came today and were involved fantastic club spirit.

Briefing before the race and launching our boat. Thanks to our Amazing Cox Romi. Had complete faith in her to get us to the end in one piece. She more than delivered kept us all so calm and guided us around those treacherous corners. Also thanks to our super dooper rudder that Eve gave to us on loan.

Update on our two courageous coastal rowers. They have managed to be in the silver medal position. The rashies that Libby organised have provided great advertising for our club as seen by the most amazing photo of Glen helping a quad out over the waves. Complete with Band-Aid first aid he needed afterwards. We have also had some Zootie tears as well from a spectacular wave dump and capsize. Glen and Julie are having a Fantastic adventure. So very proud of them.

Glen and Julie competing in the coastal nationals in Maloolaba QLD. It looks like amazing conditions for the day. Good luck.
