Busy weekend for Dragons
MEMBERS of the Warrnambool Dragonboat Club, South C Dragons, had a busy time on the water last weekend.
Members attended two separate regattas over the weekend.
Those who competed at Ballarat fully appreciated the camaraderie, fun, friendship and competition of the regatta.
The crew participated in four 200m events followed by two, one kilometer endurance races.
Three new members thoroughly enjoyed the experience of their first regatta and their enthusiasm was infectious.
In Hobart, six South C Dragons paddlers attended a Pink Paddle Power regatta.
They formed part of the 22-strong composite team that included dragon boaters from Ballarat and Townsville.
The team paddled in four 200m events, placing second in one and third in the remaining events.
Dinner at a Hobart waterfront location on Saturday night was enjoyed by all.
On Sunday, six dragon boats took part in a social paddle on the Derwent River.
The conditions were challenging, especially the return trip, but all six boats returned safely.
The next Pink Paddle Power is being planned for the Gold Coast.
