Excuses, Excuses

Really, we haven't many good ones (excuses for not finishing this boat, that is). Both Joe and I have been heavily involved in coaching at Wellington Rowing Club and we have had all sorts of other demands on our time (the boxed set of Dr. Who springs to mind and Breaking Bad was a must-see).

The real truth is that we were stuck on the problem of the foot stretchers. Pathetic, really, since all it needed was some thought, but this was possibly the trickiest challenge for us, since we both had a fear that the things would break on our first outing.

I am going to let Joe talk about this fascinating subject and to post some photos of bits of wood.


However, despite the smoke screen that the coaching gave us, it wasn't entirely a wasted effort:

And I managed to get on the podium, too:


My legs have been heavily edited.
