Dolphins!

We saw a pod swimming past on a high tide in the morning on Monday 4th November, with an excited bunch of kids in eights following them up river. We hoped to catch up or see them as they returned, but no luck this time.

Bennett Shield Regatta at Lake Pupuke Sat 23 Nov

Masters please advise Raechel if you want to attend/row. Seat fee $4.50 to the organisers. Check first with crew members if you're intending to specify crews please. There seems to be lots of events for Masters. The beauty of this one is that the boats are already over there...

The following day Sun 24th is ARA regatta same location, and it has 3 events for masters, plus 3 for recreational rowers. You can look up details on rowit http://www.rowit.co.nz/regattas/arfc2013. The talk at the Masters breakfast yesterday was that the Head of the Yarra crews will not race at the Sunday regatta, but instead will try to get hold of 2 eights so they can train on the Tamaki together instead.
