I’ve won four Olympic gold medals, fathered three children since and now watching them become adults. Oh and one dog.

Ours takes a treat and parks it somewhere safe comes back for a bonus complete with ‘desperate face’ in hope of a bonus. She’s learnt once the kitchen is shut it doesn’t reopen for a few hours. 🤣

Of course. History.

That is sad. One of the legendary forerunners.

Similar with us. The workload of pigeon, squirrel, fox and cat cases are never ending.

6 launches. We can’t turn them round quicker than we do (or we perhaps could but it would mean uncomfortably fast to the start line) so we used Bosporos as the 6th. Ariadne remained spare resource.

Yes Ulysses passed her pre HRR check but they did bump up the prop shaft lubrication. It wasn’t critical but took no chances.

Yeah it’s cost. The camera on board needs discreet bandwidth from the launch to the truck and that isn’t cheap. Nor is the set up/rig and camera. It is something we’ve looked at as it would jump the coverage forward and be weather proof!

We send the camera around as frequently as we can to maximise the coverage. It can hit one Final in three. The other launches spread the remaining 2/3rds of races equally.

Okay new learning for today - the tills at the supermarket need to be age authorised even for non alcoholic beer.

Eton Dorney. The first skylarks are out high in the sparkling blue sky. It’s stunning.

I married a Canadian and our kids now have Canadian passports. Love the place. Love the Canadian-ness of 'elbows up'. A bright light in the news cycle.

I’m a fan of an Olympic montage at the best of times but this is simply a stunning piece of film making. youtu.be/XMnoqKs4ZqQ

Early river walks make me envious of those dawn outings.

I've had a 'my dude' from my daughter recently. This was not a welcome development.

Some of the worst rowing commentary of all time in the closing stages of the M8 race.
