500 crews braved the water at Dorney on a day when the sun failed to make any meaningful appearance. Lots of wooly hats, red noses and a frozen photographer or two. Hope the weather improves for the Olympics.

Weapon of choice - Opinel. There isn't a quick way to shred peel, so a light but sharp knife works best for me |
