Yes, we had a great day at Islandbridge and in Ryans and Peploes later. We got the eight on the river, paddled up and down a couple of times without losing anybody! Spouses and partners were in attendance and enjoyed the experience. It was very worthwhile!I have some photos as requested, one attached. There is another sent to you separately to try to avoid overloading your inbox!I can also point you to a short video clip, which my son, Joseph, who is a dab hand at this stuff, put together from the 1969 photos and the 2009 videos. You can view it at http://www.3di.ie/ucdbc_vid.html Very entertaining!If you watch the video, you will wonder what the big orange ball and pontoon is in the river. We were sharing the boathouse that afternoon with the organisers of the Dublin Triathlon, who had their gear already installed for the swim part of the triathlon!I hope you can use the photos for the OCBC website. if you need the video it can be dowloaded also.
