The boat race 2016

[sawyl]

Pleasant day of doing not much after yesterday's activities. Almost by accident — I can't believe my father didn't know — we found ourselves watching the university boat race. It was surprisingly engaging, even though Cambridge took an early lead and held it throughout. The section on Chiswick reach was pretty impressive: from the helicopter shots the water didn't look too bad, but from the cameras on the boats themselves it was pretty obvious that the boats and crews were being sluiced by the waves.
