It was a hot sunny day for the Thornton River Race. Not as many teams as last year, but still enough to have some collisions on the way up.

We cruised up the river, and turned into a reasonably strong headwind before snaking back down the river.

A couple of W2 paddlers from TMOCC decided to go rudderless about 1km from the finish line.

Thanks to Rangitaiki club for organising the event. Wicked feed afterwards, and a nice day out.
