...and PADDLES!

 

We are in Boat #2 in the middle of 3 boats

We all paddle out to the starting point

We swing around to get into position

We have alignment

We have excellent timing

 

We are headed for a photo finish

 

We DID it!!!!!!!!!

We are first in our first heat.  Everyone will only race a 2nd time, not a 3rd as intended.  The weather conditions, which were never optimum, take a turn for the worst.
