Well, we had a wild ride yesterday
at the Potato Race!! There were unpredictable bucking waves the whole
way as 25 mph winds gusted from more directions than I thought we had
directions. The further out into the river you were, the worse it was.
Just as the closer into shore you were, the worse it was. No safe
haven anywhere. At one point, my partner Tim Garland, put out a hand
brace on his off side and saved us from going for a rotten swim. This
can’t be done, but he says he has big hands!! The race did make for some
memorable stories that will become part of the myths and legends of the
last race of the NECKRA season. Thank you to
Phil Sousa and Jeff Teece for putting on the race, complete with two
safety boats. The course was shortened this year in consideration. Priscilla Reinertsen |
