Expedition Rowing: Rowing with seals: a Scottish alternative to swimming with dolphins
https://expeditionrowing.blogspot.com/2015/07/rowing-with-seals-scottish-alternative.html
Going beyond regattas and head races. Monday, 13 July 2015. Rowing with seals: a Scottish alternative to swimming with dolphins. Not having specified exactly how "long" a row this had to be, the club played "safe", and decided that, to be certain they were meeting their moral obligations, "long" should be defined as at least 50 (statute) miles. In other words, trips firmly in "expedition rowing" territory, or perhaps waters: my favourite thing! One boat good, two boats better. But it turned out that we w...

Expedition Rowing: Ringvaart Regatta 2015: Time for a little lie-down
https://expeditionrowing.blogspot.com/2015/06/ringvaart-regatta-2015-time-for-little.html
Going beyond regattas and head races. Wednesday, 3 June 2015. Ringvaart Regatta 2015: Time for a little lie-down. What with sofas for marshals; floating bananas; llamas; a 25km row to the start; mid-race chips; a stork on a stick; loads of students who could hardly row; but then loads more students who excelled at bilingual organisation, the 100km Ringvaart Regatta is probably the wackiest rowing event I've ever taken part in. 11 hours, 10 mins and 44 seconds (excluding chip-eating time). Well, that stop...

Expedition Rowing: Rowers' Paradise
https://expeditionrowing.blogspot.com/2015/03/rowers-paradise.html
Going beyond regattas and head races. Friday, 13 March 2015. When an Olympic rowing medallist describes somewhere as "Everything you could imagine paradise to be, and we rowed there", it's going to pique anyone's interest, never mind the passionate expedition rower's. Unfortunately, this wasn't the sales pitch, it was the after-the-event summary of a trip I DIDN'T go on, but golly, I would have loved it. Crystal-clear water and World firsts, not to mention the impromptu lobster dinner. Wow! And the Rowin...

Expedition Rowing: Tour du Leman 2013: Like how you DREAM sculling to be
https://expeditionrowing.blogspot.com/2013/09/tour-du-leman-2013-like-how-you-dream.html
Going beyond regattas and head races. Saturday, 28 September 2013. Tour du Leman 2013: Like how you DREAM sculling to be. Mind you, we did struggle a bit with a wonky rudder, and a trapped nerve in my neck meant that I found out my left arm didn't work properly during the race when the rate went above 24, but it would be boring if it were simple. Food for thought. and for fuel. For our first few occasions at this event, we tried eating out, but this proved to be expensive, and also it took too long by th...

Going beyond regattas and head races. Sunday, 10 August 2014. 10 top tips for coxing an expedition row. The successful completion of an expedition row boils down to the rowers taking a lot of strokes. A LOT of strokes. But good coxing can play a really valuable part in helping them with that. Follow these tips to keep your crew fast, informed, and happy. They're in order of importance. The first three are purely technical. After that. Tip 1 Take the shortest line.

Expedition Rowing: Tour du Leman 2014: How we went Dutch... and won!
https://expeditionrowing.blogspot.com/2014/09/tour-do-leman-2014-how-we-went-dutch.html
Going beyond regattas and head races. Saturday, 27 September 2014. Tour du Leman 2014: How we went Dutch. and won! The start: I just love a good melée. 169; Maxcomm Communication. One of the questions I find I'm most often asked after completing a major expedition row is "Would you do it again? Which, on closer analysis, is faintly irritating. I mean: if the answer's "No", does that mean my achievement this time is somehow reduced? But beyond that, we were stuck. Every year we are met by the lovely.

Expedition Rowing: The Sulkava Rowing Race: 15 have fun in Finland
https://expeditionrowing.blogspot.com/2014/07/the-sulkava-rowing-race-15-have-fun-in.html
Going beyond regattas and head races. Saturday, 12 July 2014. The Sulkava Rowing Race: 15 have fun in Finland. A 60km rowing race, in a historic style of wooden boat, through beautiful countryside, in the height of summer. On reflection, our hastily-thought-up team name, "What's Not to Like? Nd to make it totally irresistible, the boats are coxed 14s (and no, the 1 is NOT a typo – I don't mean coxed 4), with bowside and strokeside sitting NEXT to each other. I mean, really, what's not to like? I mentione...

Expedition Rowing: Elfsteden (11 Towns) Rowing Marathon: Give us a HUG!
https://expeditionrowing.blogspot.com/2013/12/elfsteden-11-towns-rowing-marathon-give.html
Going beyond regattas and head races. Friday, 20 December 2013. Elfsteden (11 Towns) Rowing Marathon: Give us a HUG! Which would you rather do on the last weekend before Christmas? Go shopping, or go rowing with a bunch of people you hardly know, in a foreign country, over the longest night of the year? Obviously, it was a no-brainer, and so it was that I spent a freezing weekend having a tremendous time, rowing past the occasional windmill. Elfsteden "Serious Request" Rowing Marathon. 185km, 4-crew relay.
