at least you can keep your feet dry on the rostrum whilst racing the boats....

that's quite unbelievable isn't it? Will much equipment be damaged, or will the damage be mainly cosmetic? I guess that you don't leave the PC and timing equipment for example?

Bad news that, and more rain to come over next two days.

I suppose even if the lap timing equipment is ok, if the water has got into the cafe fridge, freezer, cooker etc will all be written off.

Hopefully those pitting booths will survive.

Don't worry there will be a hose pipe ban next week, because its the "Wrong" type of rain!
