2021-01-31 CCP Summer Series Race 1

Hi Members and Friends,

We were able to hold our first Race this year, due to the wonderful effort from all those involved, in the fight against Covid 19 !

The field was drawn from almost the entire Central Coast!

“Northerner”, Troy Spencer, a former CCCC Member when just a lad, was first, in a photo finish with Murray Dell, a “southerner!”
Third was Mick Carroll – a “local!”
Fourth, was Warwick Nichols, from the centre of the Central Coast!
Followed by Steve Monger and Karen Schofield (BWP), Rob McPherson (CCP), Alan Pierson (HVPC) and Mark Porter (BWP), a former CCCC President, who had a hard race at Davistown yesterday.

7.62km
I took full advantage of a favourable handicap to just edge out the consistent John Wood, with Peter Walker having only his second outing in his new sea kayak, third.

Troy left without his Lucky Prize, but Alan and Steve Monger did not leave “empty handed.”

Thank you to everyone who helped with the “chores” today, and of course, we are most grateful to our Timekeepers, Diana and Margaret.

Paddle Australia have set up a co-ordinated website for all events so you can monitor what is “going on!”

Nick.
