Convict Vase

Rowed in a mixed eight in a race called the "Convict Chsse" complete with orange tee shirts.

Boat was:

1 Sally

2 Rose

3 Jenno

4 Arnie

5 Madonna

6 Clare

7 Frank

8 Graham 

C Sophie

On Friday we rowed the boat up to the terrace shed at Tennyson.

This made for a easy get go.

The start line was just up stream at the Oxley Sailing club.

The race went well in that the boat sat up and timing was good.  Graham, in my view, did a good thing in that he announced we would start slow and build. It was a running start and we built to about 24 as we crossed the line.   Over the next couple of minutes we gradually increased to 28.  Occasionally 29.  But it seemed to go well.  The boat sat up and we seemed to have a pretty steady pace.  We didn't set any records and got over taken by a couple of boats. 

The advantage of having girls in the boat is they are way more social.  We crossed the finish line and did a U turn and came in for breakfast.  River City Women's do the best breakfasts! 😀

Breakfast started with a glass of champagne followed by a cup of Yoghurt muslie fruit and finally a ham and cheese toastie. I declined a cup cake and a green coconut ice. Sugar before rowing did not feel like something I wanted. 

Then back in the boat.  We rowed down stream to west end.  Washed the boat and then put it away in the BGS shed.

New phone setup

 Thursday sat on the old Samsung A71.  Put a bit of a curve in it but it still worked.  Unbeknownst to me a secret fault lurking in the circuitry.  It could not longer charge.

As I got into bed I plugged in the charger - nothing.  Hauled myself out of bed and retrieved a separate charger and lead.  Nope.  No combination worked. Then in a final gasp it passed on.  Now i had a problem.  The only other clock in the house was the microwave and I needed to get up at 3:50 in order to go rowing and we all know one must not be late.  I fell asleep and woke wondering the time.  Into the kitchen and it's 1:33am.  Back to be via the loo of course.  Can't sleep out of concern I will sleep late.  Gave up.  Got up.  researched phones.  Decided on a Samsung A72.  No local stores but Harvey Norman Bundamba had one.

Left about an hour early for rowing.  Figured if I was asleep in the car park, someone would wake me.  

A great row.  3 seat in an 8.  On the way back we rowed against a 4.  neither wanted to be beaten.  The best bit for me was that everyone focused and rowed hard.  The combination meant the boat sat up.  The timing was good and we got in some great exercise. 

A coffee and into work.  I was not sure on my first meeting which once I could boot my computer was at 10.  Bundamba Harvey Norman opened at 9.  It was about 8  so I purchased the phone on line with click and collect at Bundamba.  Printed the receipt and then realised - "How do I navigate".  As luck would have it, one of my staff had a referdex.  On my way and everything went smoothly.
