We had a fine but cloudy morning & slight breeze. Volunteers arrived, gear was taken out & boats rigged & put in the water. A briefing was given by the SDC. Unfortunately we were short of volunteers, but all went well.
Stephen Bush was skipper of Charlie’s Chariot with Ken Boyes as his off sider & photographer. Corey Nichols was great on the radio & timekeeping. Malcolm Barr, Jennie Fogarty, David Webb did a great job on the pontoon & Ros Chow was handing out & fitting life jackets to participants.
