Stikka Vikka Sculla

Rowing appeals to people from all walks of life but this morning saw an unusual member of the community take to the water. Father Reece, the self ordained Stikka Vikka from Vibe 101, was at the club bright and early to try his hand at various rowing related activities.

He was keen to take to the water straight away and so was pushed out in a Virus. Despite an unstable start he managed to stay remarkably upright.
He then proceeded to challenge Jane and Caroline to a 500m blast on the ergs, and won! Let me guess, you let him win eh girls?
During the morning the man of the cloth found great hilarity in a few of our rowing terms: "Cox", "Stroke the boat" and "reach around the rigger" were found particulaily amusing.

However the poor chap was obviously suffering from the early start as he insisted he was at Bristol Yacht Club.....God Bless him.
