Captain Snooze Reporting in...

Time for us to wind don after the hype of the festival with 73 international teams.  we paddled well on Saturday, coming 2nd in our first race.  In our second race we did a better time by 1 second coming third.

After the gala dinner for 2000 people on Saturday evening we were to race in the finals on Sunday.  Paddling with 19 we did really well to place 3rd in our first race.  Against 3 other Aussie teams we gave our all - and more in the final, missing 3rd place by .01 seconds - there was only .01 between 2nd, 3rd and 4th place.

Even with chest infections, sore throats and headaches our girls showed such passion and endurance.  I feel proud and privileged to be Captain to such a crew. 

Signing off as captain Snooze

    Go you good things! I knew you would show that Missabittatitti fighting spirit to the end. Well done! I hope your arm is holding up Joy. Now to the serious stuff......can't wait for the New York report. Of course I expect photos of Jo singing 'New York' 'New York'. Hope you enjoy your Broadway show Lizzie and Squirt.
