Off to Suffolk we went...
Following a successful sweep at the 2008 Sudbury International Regatta, Tethys, along with their male counterparts Nephthys, made the (4 hour!) journey to Suffolk. We arrived at the idyllic setting of Colt's Hall to begin our race preparations with a well deserved BBQ.
Race day dawned bright and sunny. We got down to the river and surveyed the course, checking out the legendary 90 degree bend...
Then racing got underway. We spent the rest of the day jumping in and out of boats, crashing into the banks and beating our opposition! A highlight of the day was the triumph of the women's eight to retain their title in the elite category. The achievement was all the more gratifying as we did it in a monsoon conditions! Having collected all our silverware, we returned to Colt's Hall for our celebrations.
Thanks must be given to Pat and Lynch, and all who live at Colt's Hall for such a great place to stay. Dobbers for all the organisation and coxing. And Nephthys for rowing with us!
