Yesterday was a fantastic day – the final day of the World Gig Rowing Championships on the Isles of Scilly and I was lucky enough to row for Boscastle and Crackington Gig Club in both races.
Before our last race we watched the Exmouth Ladies finish their race
After the final race (which was very difficult as a result of the conditions) all the gigs line up to welcome in the final heat and the winners
A wobbly picture of the line up – we were next to the Bermuda crew who we had been racing all weekend
On the beach – with the Boscastle and Crackington guys – in fact not entirely true…. there were three guys from B&C and a rotating group of honoraries. We had a different stroke rower in each race and as a result we weren’t entirely competitive.
In fact we won the wooden spoon
The best weekend I have had for years – much celebration afterwards and I’m pleased to say this morning I still have my phone and wallet, I got home to my billet and I’m still alive.
Thanks Boscastle and Crackington Gig Club.

Adrian, it was a real pleasure to meet you and row with you. See you on the circuit and back here next year. The only way is up from here!
Great work Adrian, a pleasure having you on board. Look forward to seeing you again.
