After being buffeted in the Bay of Biscay, the four duck-athletes stopped off in the French city of Bordeaux. There, we hear, one of the ducks decided enough was enough, and made a career change by joining “Le Canard” as a journalist.
Upon resuming their swim, the remaining three met Lord Nelson Duck who had been on a commemorative visit to Trafalgar. He guided them to their next landfall, the island of Jersey, where they had a rocky climb to get out of the water but found lots of helpful signs awaiting them.
After a few days rest, mainly in the hot tub, they hope to arrive back in good time, fit and ready to go, for Rotary’s Annual Duck Race in September.
