What an interesting day. 05:00 am start so that could be on the water and "on station" by 08:00 am for race day.
What am I talking about? The Hawksbury River Bridge to Bridge. I was asked by a friend to help him be a marshal on the course (river) and he need another person to help out.
We had to help contestants if they broke down or had an accident and warn other vessels coming through as well as keep an eye out for debris in the river. We also recorded the number of every vessel and the time as they went passed. Boy some of them are fast. From our spot, we had to be there for two races, one for boats only and one with skiers. There were about 70 boats in the first race and close to 90 in the second.
What a great day!
