The Journey So Far
29 June 2026
We had 43hrs in transit enroute to getting to England. 10hrs off the plane and the boys were racing at Marlow Regatta. This was a trial by fire but good to shake the cobwebs off and get some racing under our belt. Performances weren't up to their ability but it set a good floor for the boys potential here.
Since then we've been based in Oxford and hosted by families from Hinksey of whom we had rowing at AWRC during their gap years to NZ. It's been an amazing relationship forged there and their 4x has been a great boat to build experience against as they're quite fast.
The boys have been able to do the odd bit of sightseeing around Oxfordshire but as racing starts tomorrow we look to move to Henley today and gear up for racing.
Again, thank you all soo much for your support in getting the boys to Henley. Its been an absolute dream to come here and the reality hasn't disappointed so far. I know the 4x will be doing all they can to seize the moment and make everyone proud back home.
