We had an adventurous row this morning. The club we are training out of during our time in Queenstown is on a beautiful lake surrounded by mountains. However, we only had access to coxed quads. Seeing as we didn't have a coxswain, we tied the rudder, put in extra weight and steered by pressure. It was fun, until the waves got so high that we started swamping - I've never had the water come that high. Water came halfway up our shoes. It's pretty hard to sink a boat though, so no worries.
We had the rest of the day off, so I grabbed my backpack, a big bottle of water and a baguette and went exploring. My favorite place was a park that had a path going around the lake. I snapped some pictures.
I also got access to a bunch of pictures from the last couple weeks that I've attached below. I have a lot of video of me rowing that I'll add later.
