Here We Go

After practice Monday morning we were all very excited. We met at the airport and after two hours of check-in we were finally on the plane. The very nice captain even announced that we were on the plane to the rest of the plane. Eight hours later we were in Heathrow. US airport security was nice enough to unwrap all of our oars but they still arrived undamaged. We got on the bus where we dropped off the oars. Our boat was waiting there. It will do the job. We then went to our temporary house. The Webb family is very nice and has an old wooden house that dates back hundreds of years before the pilgrims established the first colony in America. We went back to the race course and walked the entire course. After five hours of Marc's devotion and skill, the boat had all of our correct adjustments and preferences. We then took the boat out for a spin. There are already a lot of people and navigation is very difficult. That night we went back to the house and ate dinner. Some of us then went in to the pool and swam for a long time. Finally after getting through a 40 hour day we were allowed to sleep. Eager to do so we all crashed.
