Back on the canal at Topsham Lock, I followed a group of rowers from Exeter University. Despite their superior speed, their progress was very stop-start as they practised, and I was able to keep pace. In the end I decided to drop back as they needed a lot of water room, and some of the beginners had imprecise directional control. these two were more experienced, and kept up a fair lick as they did starts and short sprints.
