Good day for rowing

The high pressure had been hanging around for over a week with the resulting light winds and fine weather, I'd gone down to the sailing club to do safety boat duty but without the minimum number of boats turning up racing was cancelled.

With the prospect of a sea breeze in the afternoon cancelling out the light northerly rowing seemed a good way to make the best of the day. 

I wasn't alone in total I say 6 other boats out rowing including some I recognised from Hamble River Rowing club. These two I didn't recognise, the one at top to too far away to inquire why they were towing, presumably good reason.

Below really nice looking boat, seems about as small as practical for two rowers.

 It was a perfect rowing afternoon, so hopefully everyone had as much fun as I did, the tide was on the 2 hour stand so pretty much perfect conditions.
