Another Friday #sculling on the Wear. Sadly more lurgy in the quad so dropped into a single. Warmer but pretty wet, a better way to spend the morning than work. The swans seem to have moved downstream and have a new nest site. It's still less than a meter above the current water level though. Off to the doctor to get my annual inspection then work where our owner is onsite. Must remember to keep my tongue firmly between my teeth. #rowing #rowersofmastodon

Monday #sculling on the Wear. Bright cool morning for a steady session with a few practice builds and rolling starts. A half day at work and sunshine, I've an interview this afternoon or might have headed to the beach. Another half day tomorrow for the boys 21st and a full day off Wednesday all in the week our owner is onsite. I couldn't have timed it better reducing the opportunities for me to ask him how the whole Trump things going.

Saturday morning #sculling on the Wear 4x Bluewater. Stroke still had some grumbles from his back so an easier outing with only a few rolling starts to keep the pace up. Grey mist burning off as the outing progressed.

Friday morning single #sculling on the Wear. A little grey and misty but a beautiful morning all the same. One of the swans seems to be getting aggressive again, possibly due to my poor line through Elvet. The tourist barge / prince bishops is up by the club rather than at its normal position next to the bridge and the missing landmark threw me.

Another Monday morning #sculling on the Wear. Bright sunshine but cold at 2 degrees. Due to an injury I was on my own in a single although no Swan stress this morning or at least not mine. The flood on Friday seems to have disturbed the nest. I'll check tomorrow on my run but both swans were away from it this morning and less aggressive.
A glorious morning with only a couple of college boats out.

A glorious cool Saturday morning #sculling on the Wear. The river was still high but rowable. Time flies and we are back into regatta training so a trip trying to figure out our start from last year then a regatta piece.

Too much water in the river after last night's rain. 40min erg, hopefully it will drop for tomorrow morning.

Another Monday #sculling on the Wear. Out in a single as our boat is on top of a trailer with four college boats below it. A lovely morning and a decent session despite slide bites and being chased by the swan nesting at Elvet bridge.
Lights on but not really needed and cool but not cold on the water. Now to work :-/

A grand day out on the lakes. Second division of Derwentwater head, more challenging conditions than last year but we crossed the line a full minute ahead of our competition. We just need to see what division 3 brings with two more boats racing in our competition.

Last heads piece before Derwentwater next Saturday. A little windy in places but dry and bright. Warm-up followed by five minutes otter spotting in the pool below prebends bridge before a continuous piece up and back to baths. At under 2m away Ive never been so close to an otter before and it (he I think) is fearless in the water. Possibly the high point of the week.
