XLVIII Deneb's Captain's Log
2nd July 2019
Dear Cygnets,
I hope everyone is surviving the heat wave, please drink loads and don't forget the sunscreen.
Saturday was Richmond Regatta: Good races but unfortunately no wins; good platform from our Nov8+ against the senior crew from Sons of the Thames (winner of the event), they were simply stronger, Congratulations to James on his first Race.
Our Nov 4+ also had a good race against City of Cambridge (winner of the event) - but at the end it wasn't to be. All crews lost against the winners of the events - so technically we were second! Let's keep the good work to be first.
Thank you very much Tom for driving the trailer, Anna for coxing and all of you who made the effort to come to the club to unload the trailer after a very long hot day. Please update availability to prepare well the next races.
Safety:
Failure to keep a proper lookout is the single biggest factor in collisions.

XLVI Deneb's Captain's Log
17th June 2019
Dear Cygnets,
I hope everyone had a fantastic weekend.
Good Races from the CYG 4+ (Anna, Tom, Eric, Rupert, Ashley) and the CYG 1x (Piguet) in Barnes Mortlake this Saturday - both crews lost against the winners of their respective events, but offered a good race. We can say that we brought luck to the opposition 😉 ... Unfortunately there are no shortcuts in this sport, we know what we need to do to improve so let's keep up the good work.
After a nice recovery session in small boats on Sunday we can look forward to Richmond Regatta
Please update your availability in https://www.fitclub.me, so we can plan the best racing combos. If you have any problems with fitclub please let me know.
