This weekend I was lucky enough to head back home for what's known as the 'Dinghy Derby'. It's a boat race through the river and back creeks of my hometown. It's effectively an extreme sport and all of the racers have to wear helmets for their own protection. We woke up early, on a rather miserable February morning, hopped in the boat and found a perfect spot on the riverbank to watch proceedings.
It's so much fun watching them speed by, battling to keep the boats under control and vying for top spot. The battle is hard fought and well deserved.
I can't think of a better way to spend a Summer's day.
