but by no means quartered (no, I know it doesn't make sense really. But I couldn't think of anything else with "draw" in it...)
Henley Qualifiers. Been and gone. Dealt with. Smashed to bits by both the 1st 8 and the sculling 8.
The Friday night action didn't disappoint. The 1st 8 set off behind Christchurch, with the scullers the next crew off after that. The wind, being an ever present joy this summer, made its presence known just after the Temple and continued to bounce around pretty much all the way down the course.
But after months on the docks with the gorge funnelling the channel wind and CoBRC being the gust-masters they are, both crews romped home inside the qualifying time.
After a jubilant evening on the town (more so than others in some cases) crews waited with baited breathe for the draw on Saturday afternoon.
As follows:
City of Bristol A vs. Leander
City of Bristol B vs. Belfast.
Provisional race times are out, with the Scullers on at 10:30am and the 1st 8 at 3pm.
Sufficed to say no-one will forget where they were when they heard that two City of Bristol 8s had stormed through to Thursday at Henley!

Oh well - both early baths, thanks to seeding system.
You'd have a better experience doing Nat Champs.
The 1st 8 had planned to go to Nat Champs since the HORR.
Are they going?
Yeps.
