The Uxbridge Olympics - Day 6 (Rowing)

Our scheduled sport for Day 6 was rowing.  We studied photos of rowing skiffs.

Then we set up our very own boats in which to compete.

We all helped to tape the cardboard together.



Then we practiced the tricky task of getting in. 


Lifting our legs high we kept our balance and settled ourselves into the seats.


Oars at the ready and with our supporters waving banners we rowed along the course.

Many races took place throughout the day.

Some rowers used one oar and other rowers used two oars.  

Some of the rowers used one oar and other rowers used two oars.

After the serious racing we used our boats for other adventures..

Including an overnight trip to Waiheke and a fishing trip.
