Henley Town and Visitors' regatta, rather a sun-soaked, dusty sort of a day, fiercely hot at times and densely humid. Not a lot of wind, although from the over-enthusiastic fingers on stopwatch buttons you wouldn't think it. What with the randomness of several timers and (in the case of the sprints) a drifting start, times were unreliable. Margins I intended to post, but the old biddy ripping the results pages down at 7:20 pm was set on getting home early, so no chance. All in all, a very sedate day, lots of pot-hunting, typical English summer regatta (I wouldn't know about the other bits of the Kingdom). If I've left anyone out, blame the biddy and let me know.
