The wind was a little more noticeable in this clip.
While rowing straight into the wind was a hassle for many participants, I've heard from a lot of rowers who said the real wind-related problems occurred when they needed to turn a corner and encountered crosswinds which would force them into obstacles or run them aground in the shallows.
Your daughter cracks me up! Just chillin' and drawing through the chaos. lol
ReplyDeleteIn the beginning of this video there is a boat flying a huge flag in front of the Mestrina. Is that a japanese boat?
ReplyDeleteTheir red-white radial flag resembles the Imperial Japanese Navy insignia with sun and sunrays on white background.
I mean this

ReplyDeleteIt must have been! There is a 5 minute video on Youtube, where a large dragonboat having completed 9/10th of the journey in 3 hours, finally turns into the wind and capsizes literally a hundred steps from the windshielded safety of venetian canals.
How much more unlucky can you get?
