Thanks Janet

AS a member of boat 11 I havenow the anxious wait to see if someone displaces me overnight. No rowing for me today !

I am VERY happy about a 5k challenge.

One more woman (HW, my better half) will, despite her not-having-been able to erg much at all - try later today. Hope she gets to be in a boat!

At the moment it looks like we need a lightweight - male or female to get boat 12 afloat which would be fantastic - Graham I think you should row 100k overnight to hit lightweight status and then post a 2k

I agree....ROW GRAHAM!.....I am adrift without someone floating my boat

Sorry guys/girls - it's not to be.

Tried 4 times tonight to get a 2k and bombed every time. It has NOT BEEN A GOOD DAY and now I'm having a beer before going to bed.!

Should boat 12 include Victoria Turner (Mrs Gooner?) as a LWT? That would put 12 boats afloat.

If I did a time it would be as a HWT male and therefore not help us.

That's my excuse anyway. - now where's my Stella?

TREMENDOUS EFFORT FREE SPIRITS EVERYWHERE.

WE NOW HAVE 11 BOATS FLOATED - WELL DONE!!!

Some new names showing in the FS boats - welcome aboard and thanks for your help - those boats wouldn't be floated without you.

(I know there are some funnies with the boat floating algorithm - have discussed this with Daren. I don't think we'd be any better off points wise if people were shuffled to float boat 12 using the one person in boat 13, but hopefully one more person will log a time and we'll be sorted anyway...)

Spookaboo just floated another boat! Proud of my wife, I have to say!

Great that we got boat 12 floated. Thanks Spookaboo!

Memo to self: need to get a bit quicker so that Im not in the last boat on the last night.

New Year resolution: get in a floated boat each month!

A fanstastic effort from the Free Spirits saw 12 boats floated in the November 2k CTC.

This saw us pick up an impressive 274 points overall, 2nd overall behind Sub-7 with a whopping 300, and well ahead of Team Oarsome on 231 and MAD on 229.

The December distance is the 5k. Common wisdom suggests this is around 2k+6 to 2k+7 in terms of pacing, for an all out piece, but we're more than happy if you just post a time.

(Note that the C2 Website December Challenge is 10k, so if you do a 10k for that, you can always use the first 5k for the CTC!)

Go Free Spirits!
