Since the "I" in FISA is International - this Mixed D 8+ was THAT!

Our international mixed D 8+ crew with:
An unintellible Brit cox'n, a Scottish brogue stroke, a dude from Chicago, then 2 Brit ladies, a Vermonter in 4 seat, then 3 Texans - had a fine row.
Marin practiced all year to beat our crew that had a WARM-UP TOGETHER :(.
A tad of opern water doesn't tell the whole story.
Thanks All!
