Time to take out the binoculars for this weekends regatta. Looks like there are going to be some tough racing this Sat in the AM. A lot of the comp teams are showing up for this one.
Here are some thought/questions and predictions:
A) Is One West looking for redemption from last year's 4th place finish at Rio Tinto? If they win by at a least a boat length against the competition, they aren't messing around.
B) Dragonheart Beats... Will they continue on their success from last season?
C) CIBC Imperial Dragons: ex-world paddlers, ex-FCRCC premier paddlers.. This team cannot be taken lightly.
D) Skinny Fish: I have my eye on you. You got my attention from this year's FCRCC Spring Knockout Regatta.
E) Master of Creakside...they are old...or should I say experienced...but they are wise. I'm guessing they have have at least ~350 years of paddling experience total.
F) FCRCC Premier: They took top spot at the 2013 Rio Tinto festival with "relatively" new paddlers. Another year of training can go a long way. It will be interesting to see how they do this year.
G) Gorging Dragon: Glad to see you at this regatta...you guyz are always a force to reckoned with.
H) To all other teams....it's not going to be easy in the AM.
Good luck (I heard it's going to be nice on Saturday) and keep your heads up .....the view of the city is pretty nice on the water.
Prediction;
1) One West
2) CIBC Imperial Dragons
3) FCRCC Premier
