The fifth round of the Explore Series (it used to be the Sunday League) at Tynemouth on 3 July saw our open category crew Fog on the Tyne come away with maximum points. Despite racing the next two teams in the table (leaving aside Chester Cheetahs who have disbanded due to gaining points) the boys won out in choppy conditions.

Berni, Will, Kevin and Pete, with Colin coxing, coped well with water that was probably a bit rougher than moments at Talking Tarn Regatta the day before. The course was shortened to bring it away from the waves bouncing off the North Pier in a south west wind. Tynemouth Rowing Club put on the usual good show, with tea, cakes and the bar on offer. The current league table is here.
