[/url]Yesterday our club had heaps of boats in the Head of the Marina race down here at Marina del Rey. This year it was particularly spooookkkkyyy since it was Halloween. I’m proud to say that we had about 40 medalists from our club, including three boats with first place medals! We had the Mens’ Masters 8+ A and B, Womens’ Masters 4+, Womens’ Masters Double, Womens’ Open 8+ and the Mixed Masters 8+.

 

Our home court advantage really came across when our boats managed to execute the course’s hairpin turn like Michael Schumacher while the other boats continued on towards the breakwater. Note to next year’s crews: Robert’s tip of ‘Ports Out, but not holding’ was shockingly effective and needs to have a solid place in your playbook. See forthcoming ‘Robert’s Tips’ book.

 

It was the usual hilarious hang down at the beach beforehand, some great team spirit and cheering, and afterwards a scrumptious buffet-style banquet put on by the race organizers, the California Yacht Club. Thanks everyone for coming out and rowing and/or cheering.

 

Here are the photos.
