A total of 16 Splashers took to the water on Sunday despite rolling thunder, large raindrops and a bit of a chilly wind.
The scandal of the day was the near disqualification of Nigel Swivel Neck Tyack and Heath Drover’s Pup Smith in the Brace Relay due to some mutterings about Nigel using his swivel neck to check their race times on the big wall clock.
After a steward’s enquiry he was exonerated and awarded his second place on the podium.
