Good luck to all the crews at the #gigrowing championships this weekend at the #islesofscilly!

The start of Heat 1 of the Mixed Race at yesterday’s ‘secret’ regatta, held to mark the birthday of Fowey boat-building legend Maurice Hunkin. My crew in Q are fastest off the line, and that’s where we stayed until the end of the race! 🏆🥇#gigrowing #Cornwall

A little more about us. Both Mrs OSC and I are members of a Cornish Pilot Gig club. Pilot gigs are 32ft wooden rowing boats powered by 6 crew and helmed by a coxswain. We've both competed for years and once, pre children when we were fit and keen, we both came in the top 10 crews in the world in our respective ladies + mens competitions. Times are different now, but we spend our Sat mornings enjoying being on the water. I'll post more soon about these historic and traditional craft. #gigrowing

Dydh da friends. So today holds some promise. It's alleged to be dry all day, both Mrs OSC and I are off for a row this morning, we have a delivery of woodchip to move to the allotment and I plan to make our Christmas cake! Busy busy Saturday at OSC. #nodig #gigrowing #allotment #baking #kernow

#followbackfriday I know, I know, I missed it but it's worth a try! Living in Cornwall UK, a dad to a family of 3 chn, 2 dogs, Guinea pigs, chickens and enjoying life with my wonderful wife. We take time to enjoy nature, the outdoors, and time with each other and our friends. Interested in #horticulture #gardenening #growyourownfood #rugby #cricket #gigrowing and #Cornwall
