Junior Report by Morgen
The last day of August brought the long awaited North Berwick regatta. An amazing row from the home team, North Berwick rowing club kicked off the proceedings with the men’s 45+ clocking in first place with a time of 18:36. The next race saw victory for Boatie Blest in the women’s 45+.
The U18 race saw the arrival of treacherous winds and crashing waves around the Craig. North Berwick’s team 1 were steered off track by the winds, but we saw a successful race for Eastern’s 1 and 2 team snatching up first and second place.
After the conditions in the junior race, the executive decision was made to move the novice race to the Craig and back rather than going around the island. Well done to North Berwick’s first novice team who managed to accomplish first place!
However, the wind picked up and the decision was ultimately made that it would be too dangerous to continue with the mixed, men’s and women’s open race, resulting in cancellation.
Thank you to all the teams that were able to participate today, despite the weather! And thank you to all the volunteer organisers, bakers and catering team helping to make the day happen.
