On Monday the Crowley's patiently waited for us to enter the waterway before they got underway. More than patience it might have been for entertainment purposes as well. Verite was struck with a brisk wind as we rounded the end of the dock and made our way past the Odyssey.
Okay, it was a little hairy for about 3 minutes - oars catching the wind, not to mention the wind wrapping the last two oars in what could have described as a looped cinch knot.
However, there is nothing like a full boat.
With mastery the crew backstroked out into the Thea and with a few opposing strokes was soon headed down the waterway, wind in our hair.
But who noticed the wind at that point when you have
a Crowley tug chugging up behind you on the stern?
Tea and treats were well deserved this day.
We watched in awe as the Crowley tugs turned the MOL container ship around
and back her into the dockside slip.
Tea Time was at the dockside due to the winds.
First cox, Leslie, finally could relax.
