regatta was when?

The regatta was sometime in September but since I only recently received the pictures...
Our team was dubbed "Los Magnificos" since Evan only had dumb gajin references and Misael wasn't willing to go with them thus our Spanish name. Anyhow, none of us had rowed before besides Evan in the years before and needless to say we were terrible. The boys got pretty offended when the trainer said I was outrowing them during the training session and they needed to buck up. I knew my strong thighs would be a benefit someday! Iwan loves to dress up so we went with cheesy 70's sporty attire, though Evan ended up looking like a skinny Australian amphibious creature. Our first race was lost due to Iwan's lack of control over his feet and once they went flying in the air with his paddle asunder we were leagues behind. Our second race we lost Misael but gained the valiant Eagle from Australia. He had never rowed a day in his life but was a natural and we even ended up beating two teams, unfortunately we could not advance because of the member change but the win was oh so sweet.




Hoisting our friend Rie as the victory cup!!!
