What great and interesting hats everyone is wearing.<br /><br />That's quite a story about the young Coots and quite impressive of the parents ingenuity with the floating nest for safety!<br /><br />Hugs :-)<br />RachelleAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7859687831698414080.post-60186499605764036932010-07-06T02:30:16.995+01:002010-07-06T02:30:16.995+01:00Glad you enjoyed the Regatta, Bill.
I'm alw...Glad you enjoyed the Regatta, Bill. <br /><br />I'm always amazed there are no serious accidents in the dark on the Saturday night. <br /><br />Too many "skippers" either haven't got a clue, or ignore basic safety rules such as having no lights as you mention, or are drunk. And some fit into all three categories!<br /><br />Did you see Princess Anne in the Royal Barge? We were only able to go to the Regatta on the Wednesday this year as a young friend's wedding in Madrid took precedence.<br /><br />There is a marvellous picnic spot just down river from the start that gets completely ignored but is the best spot apart from the Stewards [new] floating grandstand.<br /><br />Due to a curve in the river bank you can see straight down the entire, dead straight course, a view otherwise only afforded to the umpires in their high speed launches [and not even the crews as they row backwards to go forwards!] but no one ever uses it!<br /><br />The Regatta team have a few days to tie up the loose ends and then, even as the tentage starts to come down, they are already starting on HRR 2011!RG9noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7859687831698414080.post-22353094923948693172010-07-05T22:35:43.238+01:002010-07-05T22:35:43.238+01:00Bill, everyone looks very glam, but tell Debbie he...Bill, everyone looks very glam, but tell Debbie her outfit wins the prize in my view.
