Duluth

We're in Duluth now.
The river here is a little low, the flatwater gates are gone and the river run is too low. Apart from that it's perfect!!
It's not quite what we had hoped for in the last week but we're making the most of it. We had 2 WW sessions yesterday and one this morning and then off to race tomorrow.
We have some nice accommodation in town right by the wharf and not far from a lifting bridge and great chocolate shop!
The course is quite rocky but we think we've found most of them now. There is a big rock slide at gate 3 and another 3 significant drops down the course. The last is quite fun and tricky.
We seem to have plenty of injuries (Carl-back, Kelly-shoulder, Marcus-back, Anna -shoulder, Foxy-shoulder) but they're keeping their spirits up.

Good luck for racing and enjoy the last couple of days.
Hope the Europe leg goes well for those heading over to the teen cups.
