Spontaneously decided to ride along with Coach Jefe yesterday.

Practice started off with a bit of a repair job on Xavi's oarlock.

Shortly followed by a mid-row replacement of Eric's broken oar.

Followed up by Alex's shoe separating from the footstrechers.

Meanwhile, it was a party in the barge.

While Trey did a saintly job of ducking under the telephoto

Fortuntely, that didn't derail practice too much, and the meat wagons were trucking

Some with perhaps a bit more meat than others.

No shoe, no shirts, no problems.

At least these guys didn't have to steer.

He did, though.

All kinds of small boats.

Jack seems to still remember how to use two oars.

Nice uni.

Making lemonade.

Wasn't all smooth sailing, as previously noted.

But it all worked out in the end.
