Its never a dull moment in Portaferry Coastal Rowing Club. As part of Gala Week in Portaferry the club organised a Duck Derby to raise some funds.
With the assistance of some Kayaking members and some SUP Board volunteers (i use the term loosely lol) we were ready to launch our ducks in an exciting derby.
After a quick change of launch location due to a wind change the ducks were released, and we were off.
After some debate we realised we obviously had made a mistake and used Strangford ducks as they all simply drifted off to Strangford, only to be corralled by our waterborne team.
After collecting our winning ducks for the prize giving the round up began and i can confirm trying to gather up 400 ducks is not for the faint hearted.
The club would like to say thank you to all those who took a punt on a duck in support of our club with a big thanks to the members who braved the harsh sun and cold waters.
Watch this space for Duck Derby 2 the new and improved version next year.
that was great craic with even better weather. good job guys
