This week's mid-week row. Thursday 2-45pm

[Nigel]

Hi All you intrepid rowers!
    This week is good for tide times, but less so for available water. The weather seems good for Thursday and Friday, so I propose Thursday (2-45pm meet, with probably Emsworth as a T-target), with the possibility of a second trip on Friday (when the weather is currently predicted to be slightly sunnier!).

Temperatures (10 degC),  water (10 degC) and wind are still cold so come dressed to survive. You can always shed a layer!

As usual please post here if you are interested ---VV

--- and it might be useful to also indicate whether or not you might be interested in the Friday 2nd row, so that I can judge whether to put up a second thread for the Friday row option.

Nigel - you are there! Excellent! Count me in...

[Dee]

Yes please for Thurdays Nigel with a added possible for me on Friday .
Cheers
Dee

Hi Nigel, Steve and I would like to join in, happy to take a Teifi out if no more replies. Julia & Steve (looking forward to a catch up)

[Nigel]

Currently the Thursday row is as planned.
 
For the benefit of Friday rowers - the wind predictions are worsening slightly, so I shall wait until tomorrow (Thursday) to start a thread for the Friday row.
   I shall assume that all who expressed an interest in Friday will look at this thread and let me know (on the Friday thread) if they cannot make it.

!!! I hope there is no more hail !!!   Out in the open it really hurt today!

Tomorrow we will be joined by Helena Smalman-Smith, expedition rower supreme, who wants to see what a Solent galley is like. Her very fine blog is here: http://expeditionrowing.blogspot.co.uk

Marcus would like to join you, unfortunately I cannot, have a great row.

Hi there all you surfers (well, we did, didn't we?!),
    Thanks for making it a good outing with very positive rowing being shown in what were fairly stiff conditions!
  Unfortunately the wind and rain predictions for tomorrow are even "stiffer", so I think it advisable to cancel tomorrow's row.

I apologise for raising people's hopes -but you can all get another rowing "fix" on Saturday and Sunday.....
Cheers
Nigel.
