Picnic at the Hams

A lovely evening spent on the water in Whisstock. The weather might have been a bit cooler than of late but the colours and reflections were stunning.

A planned picnic at The Hams refuelled everyone for the rather choppy journey home.

A good time had by all!

Sæ Wylfing at the Woodbridge Regatta

Members of the WCRC took to the water in a very different vessel today when they rowed Sæ Wylfing at the Woodbridge Regatta. Sæ Wylfing is a half length interpretation of the Sutton Hoo ship and great fun to row in.

It was good to see so many other vessels on the water with sailing, paddle boarding, dragon boating, rowing, cruising, canoeing, kayaking and rafting.

Breakfast at Waldringfield Maybush

Certainly an outing of two halves! We had an almost dry row from Woodbridge to Waldringfield where we had a lovely shared breakfast at The Maybush (we might have steamed the place up a bit).

On the way back both Whisper and Whisstock got caught in a squall but we rejoiced in the fact that it was on the way back and a warm shower was not far away.

Fun in a cold easterly wind!

Nothing stops us!

Both boats were out on the water today, bravely beating the wind. There wasn’t a great deal of hanging about and chatting but it was lovely to be out on the river for an hour or so. It’s always nice to welcome new people who would like to give rowing a go so we enjoyed sharing this outing with two prospective new members. Welcome!
