A BOTTLENECK at ihe neck of The Gorge Gop left) backs up competitors in
the Head of The Gorge Regatta, Oct. 27. The annual regatta attracts
University crews from across wesiern Canada and the western United
States. Members of the UBC women’s heavyweight eight (top right) ap-
pear from under the Tillicum Road bridge. Concern shows on the faces of

two UVic rowers (bottom right) as their eight passes perilously close to the
rocks beneath the bridge. Portland sculler Peter Wasterdowski (bottom
lef) passes successfully through the back eddy which makes racing on
The Gorge particularly challenging. On his first try he ended up swimming,
after his scull overturned.
