They'll have to avoid the river police on their return row!

NOW FOR SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT:

HAPPY CHINESE YEAR YEAR - THE YEAR OF THE ?TIGER.

It's customary for Brigg's Chinese community to hold dragon dances and let off fireworks (to frighten nasty spirits)on their New Year's Day.
So expect a few bangs.
