Rowing Session Monday
6 May
Notes
A good solid working session with repeated practice of Diamond
To Balaine until we got it right with the aim and turn. These sessions are good
for learning the run of tide as well as the exact locations of the marks and
the bearings we need to take to get to them. Must start rowing with a compass
on board to really fine tune and verify the course sufficient to hold a
straight line rather than zig-zag up as we fight the tide running across us.
Summary
Distance 13000 Time(Mins) 90 Meters Per Min 144 Meters Per

backwards on a rowing boat and need to take account of tide and wind.
