2018 South Island Masters Champs, Picton
2 & 3 June, Picton
There has not been a regatta in Picton Harbour since 1992. For many of the 30 Union rowers it was a trip down memory lane, while for others it was an opportunity to experience rowing on the harbour, racing the ferry, avoiding boat wakes and finding out what all those stories were about.
Picton did not disappoint. The long distance race first thing on Saturday morning practically sank Union's mixed 8.
The club finished equal with Dunstan for the most points achieved at the regatta. Dale and Greg won the trophy for the fastest double and Kirsty won the trophy for the fastest single.
My personal highlight of the regatta was seeing Andrew and Ian getting off the water after their novice doubles race beaming.
Everyone pulled their weight helping people on and off the water, rigging and de-rigging loading and unloading and yet reserved enough energy to dance from 8 to midnight.
