Video from the GLRF booth at Canadian Henley
We keep pinching ourselves so often it hurts. The GLRF booth is situated in the vendor village area of the Canadian Henley just 15 feet from the water. We have an unobstructed view of the first 1500m of the course! It doesn’t get much better than this! This video was shot on day 2 of the 2008 Royal Canadian Henley and shows the view and most of the course. As you can see, all the boats launch from this super long dock directly in front of our booth. At the end of the video, you’ll see a quad race crossing the 1000m mark. The weather has been hot, humid, cool, sunny, cloudy, windy, and rainy. Can we get fries with that too? Frequent thunderstorms have forced several races to be suspended over the course of 5 days – this blog update is written on Saturday. Day six, Sunday, will feature the morrning masters events and then more finals including a final only that Chris X. from Austin Rowing club will be racing. The biggest highlights have been the incredible talent from Mexico. The Panamex pair team has cleaned up and some of their other entries have also earned ‘Henley Gold.’ The Argentinians and Germans have done very well, and of course, Union Boat Club, Community Rowing, and St. Catharines Rowing Club, among others.
