"I couldn't have completed the year without my amazing vice captains (Alex and Melissa) – you've been awesome ❤️ plus all of our coxswains who just jump in every boat they're thrown in, for John and Stuart for towing the boats to each regatta and to Stuart and Keith for being incredible boat repairers!! We've certainly needed you this year 😬😳😘![]()
