Comments: * Kayakers paddled directly into CRLS G3V4+'s racing lane after the River St. bridge and would not move. The CRLS coxswain managed to avoid a collision by making a large swerve toward the Boston shore and then back intp their racing lane. Prior to the kayak interference, CRLS was slightly behind but still overlapped with Duxbury. While the finish order was probably not affected, CRLS' evasive maneuver cost them several seconds.
Thanks to Duxbury and Northfield Mt. Hermon for making the trip and for a great afternoon of racing!
