On a serious note, make sure all are wearing life jackets (and wetsuits?). the water in Windermere is (I suspect) cold and deep and dangerous.

I'll be in me deck chair, enjoying the spectacle from the shoreline (no change there then )

[Muzorewa]

It's about a 500 yd circuit - there will be some tired arms at the end of that

Ditto Mike's life-jacket comment - Dave will know better than most how cold the water gets away from the shoreline.

That will definitely be a spectacle worth videoing

Hey Di

How about asking our friends from Bay SAR if they want to come and play with their boat and act as safety backup for the boat race?
You coulod donate entry fees/whip round to them and invite them to the barbie? Just a thought?

Might well pop over for a couple of hours on Saturday afternoon/evening.

cheers
