You would have thought so :-0 The problem is there are too many
miniature connectors for things like power supply and servo controls to
the lens. Also radio link equipment is notoriously finicky in wet
weather. There were also problems with the sound equipment on the
orchestra boat caused by the weather.


Maybe in view of the weather forecast if someone had have bought some of
those big Union jack umbrellas everyone would have been better off.

Of Course !

Caused by incompetence more-like.
Bad weather was clearly forecast - the choir should have been provided with
cover of some sort.
I felt really sorry for them.
