Towlers Bay dinghy race and battle
 |
| Race boats are assembling. |
At 1100 a race was called and dinghies were set to row around the buoys. It became clear early on that foul play was afoot and the rule book went overboard along with any demeanor that true gentlefolk pirates would aspire to.
The 'Dawks' interfered early with 'Los Saaremaates' and very quickly were wet through. Meanwhile the 'Dragon' boat,
Pete's Dragon, was playing for keeps and heading for the finish line.
Round 2 saw many a boat pushed and pulled around the course with
Little Stoked being stuffed as it was alternately pushed and pulled.
 |
Let the race begin.
|
A fine Oxford/Cambridge row was put in by the
Little Dreamcatchers with Helen & Ray rowing their arms off. Cheating seemed to be the order of the day with many a boat taking on too much water which was splashed liberally around.

| Emptying the dinghy fleet became a necessity. |
 |
| Still emptying and readying for battle. |
Pirates v Navy was a push over for the naval brigade who all seemed to have better gotcha skills than we unkempt and unruly pirate mob.
