A Polite Request

Dear Rowing Gods,
What have we all done to deserve these perpetual headwinds? Give us a sign, let us know what we can do to ease your displeasure. To date our offerings have been plentiful and sustained, the ergos have been regularly worshipped upon, the weights have been lifted and lowered in your sight and we have striven on the water through a long cold Winter.
Perhaps you require a sacrifice? I would throw you a J14 but Welfare frowns on that sort of thing these days. How about a Vet F? We've got many of them and I don't think Welfare would be too bothered, to be honest I don't think you'll want any of the one's I can think of so that's out too. A virgin?? Come on Gods, this is Molesey, where am I going to find one of those??
Perhaps you require a rare and curious gift? Myrhh is a favourite in the Bible, but I hear it's most often found in Somalia, could be a problem getting round the pirates, perhaps I could send those Vet F's I mentioned, no they'll only end up being beheaded on YouTube, the Surrey Comet will have a field day with that.
So dear hallowed rowing Gods what are we to do, please send us a sign, a message, anything as long as it's not a Burgashell.
