Relatively calm conditions on the water tonight with just a slight breeze — perfect for a solid training session. The views over our playground, Docklands Harbour, were absolutely stunning as always.

A big welcome to Brenda, our newest paddler — great to have you on board!

It was a tough but invigorating session. Thanks to Johnny for putting us through our paces 💪

Loving the feel of the new paddles slicing through the water — smooth and powerful!

Well deserved dinner afterwards at San Marzano.
