On a cold January Sunday morning we were invited to Proteus, Paula's rowing club, for a family day. After a cup of coffee we were asked to cycle along a training session on the Schie, the river connecting Delft and Rotterdam. The girls, rowing an 8 seater, did four 3 kilometer stretches with various exercises. And it was not a bad January day, with a cold wind and infrequent light drizzle! Afterwards we were shown around the premises and fed with lunch. Then Piet and Dorien were allowed a go with Paula and one of her teammates in a smaller boat, and despite their physical strength coordination turned out more important!
