Regatta Raft Race 2010

This year we went for plastic containers rather than the heavy metal drums we used last year...in the hope that we'd be more streamlined.

Will it work??
Looking good with Meg on board - it floats!!!

Our staff, Mike Molly, Ben and Jack arrive from working at Whitestrand at 5.30pm just in time for the race start. Only one of them was sensible enough to wear a wetsuit!!!

But as soon as the whole crew boarded, the raft seemed strangely low in the water.

And our dreams of beating the lifeboat crew were crushed

Everyone was well and truly drenched.....fancy a swim?!

The overall of Salcombe Regatta's 5km Fun Run was none other than......Whitestrand's very own ..... BEN WIMPORY! Well done to Ben who finished the run in a ridiculous 20 something minutes. Anna followed with Daisy the choc lab in 35 mins (we were the third dog to cross the line though!!!)

Staff fishing trip

Class of 2010

Ben, Cam, Megan, Mike, Max, The Boss, Charlie and Molly

Class of 2010 all went mackerel fishing with mixed success (!) - Max, Megan and Mike all had a lesson driving Calypso and everyone caught fish except....Max unfortunately. Even Megan caught her first ever fish, although she refused to touch them!Molly caught one mackerel eventually hoorah, and Chris quietly caught the most, about 8 of them, so at least we had something to eat on the BBQ that evening.
