JP: Did you row when you were younger? Do you still? You show alot of interest in this regatta. I have a lot of rowing history in my family. I didn't quite get the "bloody American millionaire freaks" comment, however. I assume there's a bit of facetiousness in there, I hope?
I did go to one of the universities where rowing is a big thing (might have left some clues as to which one) but actually rowing involved getting up at 6 am which for some reason wasn't that keen on then (or now for that matter).
But I live near the start so when going for a wander often head for the Embankment to see what's happening.
Are these the boys in dark blue or light blue? Anyhow, prime and backup boats out for training...... and doing interviews:
Which requires truck loads of equipment to get those pictures back, an in HD too:
Are you excited yet?

Nope, alas not a rower.

ps and I assume Tillerman has seen this article:

Yeah, 6 a.m. was never high on my to do list. And all that rowing too!
I suppose that's what Tillerman meant, although I had a different
idea, I think
I did wonder at first what Tillerman had in mind - what was your idea?
I must admit, I thought it had something to do with Larry Ellison. But then he did only say millionaire
