Doncaster Rowing Club Crews Brave the Fog to Blow Away the Festive Cobwebs

The Doncaster Rowing Club completed a festive row, with a spirited session on the water, as two 8+ crews and one 8x crew took to the river to shake off the Christmas cobwebs. Despite the thick fog [within safe rowing visibility levels] that enveloped the area, our rowers were undeterred, demonstrating their commitment and enthusiasm for the sport.

A Team Effort in Challenging Conditions

The morning row was a true testament to the teamwork and resilience that define our club. The two 8+ crews, featuring a mix of members from both the men's and women's sections, worked in perfect harmony, their oars cutting through the mist with precision. The 8x crew, known for their speed and agility, also navigated the fog with skill and determination.

Sue Fisher, the Ladies Club Captain, expressed her gratitude to the coxes, Helen, Alice, and Emilia, for their exceptional leadership and guidance during the session and to Rob and William for their help in the Launch. She added, "Their ability to steer us safely and confidently through such challenging conditions is truly commendable. It's mornings like these that remind us of the strength of our rowing community."

Capturing the Joy of Rowing

The camaraderie and joy experienced by the crews were evident in the smiles and laughter shared throughout the session. This sense of community and enjoyment is beautifully captured in the accompanying photos, which showcase the rowers' determination and delight as they embraced the foggy challenge.
