I was assigned to a single, but someone didn't show, so I got pulled over to the VIII at sunrise on Tred Avon River. We had flat water, but never got our swing together.

Okay, so this is just floating down the river in class 1A or 2 rapids, but I had the steering oar, so give me a little credit here. A dam release gave us about 800 cubic ft./sec., which is lively, but not wild.

We set out promptly at dawn. NW breeze did not produce the lumpy seas we had Wednesday, so we made it out to marker 16 on the Tred Avon. The boat was steady, but not fast, as we were not as coordinated as we should have been on the stroke.

On a breezy morning, with winds 15kts out of the south, the water got lumpy by Jacks Point, so we ducked into Jacks Cove and went up the Cove three times before returning. The last time out we did three short sprints with the Pocock VIII. The boat had more than the usual amount of water when we picked it up at the dock, and it gave us a good dousing.
