On 30 January M1 took the empacher on it’s first trip to the Tideway in recent years, racing in the Quintin Head. The time was unspectacular but this was to be expected as some crew members had not rowed since November and the eight never together thanks to a swollen Isis.
However, the outing was enjoyable and will hopefully set a precedent for going to other external regattas as well as giving us some much needed water time.
