French Nationals 2018
An awesome race with a flying start with turbo-power from every paddler
Followed by a little bit of cat an mouse with the French crew then a solid racing line from Joce at the first turn resulting in the French crew going into us( lots of interesting French words then exploded from their boat๐)
We kept going and maintained the lead all the way to the beach turn at 18km . With just 20 secs in front Bernice leapt from to boat to do a flying sprint whilst Anne and Joce tuned the boat . The next 10km was tough ๐คขbut we successfully managed to spot the inconspicuous buoys ( “turn at the yellow buoy”- but there are 20 in this bay?!๐ง) and a sprint finish.

We opened up the gap on the French to almost a minute. Boom! Job done! 6 happy paddlers!๐๐ป
