Hooray – It’s Henley 2008

The Captain under Henley bridge

The WRC were represented by a coxless pair at Henley Royal Regatta yesterday, and as you can see, the sun shone as is customary. The Captain brought a new hat, we were photographed by a lady from Totally (a poor man’s local Hello! – well, as poor as one gets living in Henley), the WRC legend was passed on to interested attendees we met along the way, Tom at Godfrey was awarded for his trouble with a can of Pimm’s, Leander was "visited" for a sun-downer (at the second time of asking) and we both made it home in one piece. All in all, a vintage year. All that was missing were absent friends, who were remembered in the time-honoured fashion.

VIVAT WITHAM!
