Castle to Crane 5 miles from Home

 

Cherub and crew took part in the Castle to Crane 5 miles from Home event on Friday 18th September and stopped in the Commisioners' Cut for a restorative having sculled the 5 miles (Whitlingham to Barmerton Common and back) in 65 mins and 19 secs. 

Rowed boats of all sorts had been taking part from Tasmania to Orkney and I was pleased that there were some other Thames skiffs included.

Although Cherub was the slowest of the Thames skiffs, we were only a minute behind the slowest racing skiff and I put that down as a success.
