Took a call from Peter last night. Today, Wednesday 26 August, has been written off by our captain as the weather is not good. That sets back the first team in the window by one day and therefore our first possible go-time is Saturday 29 August.
He also said that Thursday isn't looking too great either, which pushes us to Sunday at the earliest. Now that's not necessarily a bad thing. Looking at yesterday's post, Sunday looks like it might be a good, flat, sunny day. Wouldn't mind that at all, but then again you can never trust a british weather forecast.
My Dad confirmed that the first few donations are coming in for the RVCP in Ulladulla which is great, many thanks to Anna & Matt Wilkie, Ali Gowland and Tim Collins for their support out there!
Short swim this morning, me, Chris, Heath, Matt, James & Freddy were all in. We only did maybe 40 minutes this morning at a steady pace; just enough to keep it ticking over but nothing too stressful. Shoulders are sore in an odd place, in my triceps, but i'll take that over structural pain. Will be keeping up the stretching this week.
We were once again graced with a formation display from the local goose population in their classic 'flying V'. Maybe 20, 25 birds flew down the river just as we were getting in. Nice sight that is, especially when it's so still around that you can hear their wings beating and the sound of the wind rushing around their feathers.
That may have been the only nice thing this morning, it was grey and did seem pretty chilly in the water. We're all wondering why that might be. Chris's E-bay thermometer still clings to 19 degrees, professing it to be the truth. I just keep thinking about Wile E. Coyote's many purchases from the ACME company as he tried to catch RoadRunner; each of which either flattened him or led to him being smashed into a rock-face. Who did you say the thermometer's manufacturer was, Chris????
Happy trails!
