Deep Cove Races..a day of "firsts"

For most of us, the Deep Cove "Dash for Charity" 200m sprints was a new experience. What a beautiful venue! And to have the race course half the length as a regular race was definitely a nice bonus!

Carey came out and steered her first races! Unfortunately, the only race we have photos of, is the one when the boat got away from us! Poor Carey..we practice on a different type of boat that's heavier and much easier to steer, and to be thrown into a lighter boat with a more unstable steering oar, things happen!
And here's where things happened! Poor Shelly got to practice the "ejection seat" drill when we t-boned another boat at a high speed! Looking back on it now, we are able to laugh at the whole thing!
Here's our lovely coach, fresh outta the water, nice and soaked! And we had 2 more races back to back after that! In the end, we placed 1st in our division, and were 1 of only 2 women's teams to get a time under 1 min.! Go Warriors! We always come through in the end!
