What a day it was! We’ve put together a collection of photos capturing the action, teamwork, and great atmosphere from the Thames Valley Goldfields Waterways Competition and the Auckland Waterways Provincial.

From intense moments on the waterways to the laughs, support, and camaraderie off them, these photos really showcase what this competition is all about. A huge thanks to everyone who took part, supported, and helped make the day such a success.
