Goodwin upriver race, 12th March 2023 - John's report

It was a blustery and challenging day with even the three greats - Allan, Renato and Jakob - straining their sinews. Elspeth made a valiant effort, with erratic conditions proving challenging. She went over a couple of times but nimbly avoided going in herself, before deciding to call it a day. No honour lost there! You need exhausting technique to win, and win Renato did. Followed by Allan (after the handicap adjustment), with Jakob just behind. Sergio was my fantastic assistant, and made the whole thing a real pleasure.
