3 pilot gig oars out of the water. Flat sea, sun, and clear sky behind.

Cold. But it’s never tough getting out of bed on a morning like this. #Cornwall #gigrowing

Cornish pilot gigs on Caffa Mill Slipway in Fowey with morning mist and sunrise.

Start line of gig race in Fowey harbour.

Fantastic but long day of rowing and organising at Fowey Regatta yesterday. Perfect weather, some great racing, and all visiting clubs seemed to have a brilliant time. Proud of our club and our sport. #gigrowing #Cornwall

Cornish pilot gigs lined up on Cawsand beach.

Rame Regatta today. Perfect conditions. #GigRowing #Cornwall

Brixham Vets Championships. It’s going to be a hot one! #GigRowing

Rainbow over Polruan Castle, from a Cornish Pilot Gig.

I don’t just row for the photo ops, but it does help. #GigRowing #Cornwall

I’ve been telling people how rough our St Agnes race on Saturday was. Now I have video evidence. Apparently one of the Looe crews ended up with a fish on board! You can catch a glimpse of us in Troy - red boat with a white flash at the front. #GigRowing #Scillies #WPGC25

Finals day at the World Pilot Gig Championships 2025! Ladies heading out for round 3, the 2nd Nut Rock race. Conditions so much better than yesterday. #Gigrowing #Scillies

Gig oars at sea, with the sun setting over Gribbin Head.

I know I seem to post virtually the same photo over and over again… but I never tire of this sight. Last row before Scillies done! #Cornwall #GigRowing

3 pilot gig oars over the sea, with the sun setting behind Gribbin Head, Cornwall.

This time in two weeks, Scillies weekend will be over, the world champions will have been decided, and the hangover will have (mostly) worn off. Until then, we’re putting the finishing touches on months of hard work. Evenings like this make it so much easier. #GigRowing #Cornwall #WPGC25

The Fowey pilot gig ‘Q’ at sea with evening sky behind.

Looking out of the Fowey harbour mouth towards Gribbin Head, with sun setting.

A chilly but rather lovely evening out on the water. Definitely in Scillies countdown mode now! #gigrowing #Cornwall

#gigrowing #cornwall rowing our ace new boat Zoras. Not long to the world champs!

Time for my first event of the year. Helford ‘Mini Scillies’. Conditions improving. #GigRowing #Cornwall

Double session today. Definitely feeling that start-of-season anticipation! #Cornwall #GigRowing

A pair of Gig teams interrupt their training to raise their oars at 11.00am on Remembrance Sunday in Lyme Regis bay

I was in Lyme Regis on Remembrance Sunday last year while a couple of Gig teams were training in the bay. On the stroke ( no pun intended ) of 11.00 they stopped and raised their oars.
It was surprisingly moving.

Autumn evening gig rowing training. Those nights are starting to close in, but it’s still wonderful to get out on the water. #Fowey #Cornwall #gigrowing
