Gig racing at Cawsand

Arriving on the Cawsand ferry this morning, we found ourselves in the right place at more or less the right time - a gig championship heat taking place. All rather good fun. We couldn't stay for the midday launch and afternoon races but the preparation and setting up, the moving the gigs onto the beaches, the sheer organisation needed to get them down the narrow lanes one at a time - all rather impressive
