Paddle (Fish day 2) 2:05:48 [3] 34.0 km (3:42 / km)
Fixed the pumps over night, not my seat... Set off in B batch with 3min to make up, which was going to be close to impossible on a more open day.
We raced away with Nic and crew from the rest of the batch, not managing to get away from the by any means.
Eventually we got to marlow shute and the tight sneak thereafter. They went down first with me allowing them plenty of room. They hit the left bank, ramped up and spun around, with us driving into and over their back deck, causing some damage, but not back enough to end their race :), we got ahead of them, successfully managed cradock wier (which they portaged) and we made it to the finish only 1min ahead of them.
Finished 2nd k3 and made up to 5th overall. Very unfair comparison... it's basically like paddling with a engine in the back. Loads of fun and will race a k3 again some time.
