Will Iga Rewse Davies strip down to her underwear and dive in to perform unnecessary rescues? She has done it twice before to popular acclaim, winning a medal for it one year.
Will the racing be hard and tough, will some go round in ever decreasing circles? All will be revealed tomorrow morning and remember being in it is more fun than standing on the bank.
The Commodores Val Hughes and Celia Berry were down inspecting the course yesterday and pronounced everything at the ready.
Today Malc and I went down, had a word with Gerard to make sure his rescue boat would be in place, and it will.
The ladies had been to see the Mayor and the site was tidy and he has even had some benches delivered for the use of spectators..
This year as the Regatta has been in numerous French holiday publications we are hoping for a greater French presence and we have certainly had phone calls from a few french people asking about the day.
Many of the people coming to the regatta picnic but the Moulin tells me they have 40 booked in for fish and chips.
A word of advice
GET there early to sign on, then the Commodores know how many are racing, early is well before 10.30 and before 10 is even better.
The ladies may need help with rescue boat manners (people manning the rescue boat) could be competent ladies or men. Please offer to help if you can and the canoes need lifting in and out at the beginning and end of the day and help is always appreciated.
Pat Liley is the Sailing Secretary on the day and will put out buoys and man the rescue boat for a short period.
Bon chance mes braves and may the best man, lady and child win.
Ps Malc thinks Iga had a bather on not underwear ... but why spoil the story.
After the lunch those who want to why not stay for a game of boules
