Gig Rowing

Sunday 21st July 2024

I did my second row on Wednesday afternoon - another fine and calm day. This morning is my last trial row. Gig rowing started in Cornwall and is very popular there but kind of peters out as it moves east with Lewes being about the furthest east. Its a wooden boat with 6 rowers and 1 cox, and the oars are huge!! The people are so lovely and again I was lucky with the weather, the cox really pushed us today - it was hard work but I enjoyed it. Looking forward to joining the club!! The picture is of Irene the boat we rowed today!
