Today, we walked to the riverbank to watch the Regatta waka races.
When we got to the riverbank, we sat down to watch the races. The water was sparkling and the crowd on the other side of the river was shading under tent tops. Some crews were getting into the waka to go up-river for their races.
Harrigan’s crew was racing next. We were feeling extra excited and nervous at the exact same time. When the race started, everyone started chanting “Go St Pauls!" as Harrigan’s crew rowed in the gleaming water.
As they got nearer and nearer to the finish line, everyone shouted and screamed, “Go St Pauls!” then everyone started to clap because they had won. Everyone was clapping so loud it sounded like there was an earthquake and even some people were jumping up and down in excitement. Everyone had a great big smile on their faces when the race was finished.
