Dateline:  Friday Nite... late, August 3, 2012,  Hermosa Beach Pier, northside

The team from VENICE won the Intercrew relay this year.  Do have to wonder about the hilarious diagonal course (on a heading for, near as we could collectively tell, was the Charthouse... at Topanga!...) one of their dory teams rowed, though, which left some of us scratching our heads...   :-)   A broken oar lock on another leg... leading to lots of drama there near the end with the Zuma team's dory right on the heels, er, stern of the final Venice dory team, and esp. after the Venice swimmers totally crushed the field creating a huge lead at the outset...

Well, here are some photos. Some good, some fun, some not so good due to the limitations of our blog's camera equipment and yet all of these photos capture the spirit of this fantastic event and every effort is made to push this content out to our readership as quickly as possible in our continuing effort to be as inclusive as possible.  Enjoy!...
