Cardinals Regatta 2010
Thursday 11th March
Mixed VIII A
Bow: Márti Malaj 2: Erin Earl 3: Christina Pettit 4: Dirk Simon 5: David Jessop 6: James Latter 7: Matt Howard Stroke: Dan Weatherill Cox: Jessica Williams
Round 1: beat some Robinson pirates; Round 2: got beaten by some mathmos
Our row-up was made somewhat interesting by the discovery, at about the time we should have been marshalling, that we only had 7 rowers. However, we remained unflustered, pushed off as a 7, picked up the ever-helpful Dirk at the P & E and still made it in time to race.
In our first race we outclassed the pirate ship with little difficulty; sadly despite the significant head start we were given, we failed to hold off the mathmo's, who apparently had several university rowers and looked suspiciously like they might have been practising.
And despite a few toga/slide issues, we managed to get Dirk back in time to go with the crew he was supposed to be racing in.

Round 1: lost dramatically to genetically modified fruit from Emmanuel
Being completely inept at answering our own phones and therefore missing the explanation as to why Dirk wasn't asnwering his, we too thought we were destined to push off as a seven and pick up a volunteer at the P & E. Thankfully, however, the Muses delivered him to us just in time.
As for the race, suffice to say that had we gone with Big James's suggestion that we all dress as crabs we would have been dressed very appropriately.
