The sunshine stayed out - and it was warm!!!
no rain in sight... and lots of dragon boaters came out to paddle in the sunshine.
We had 28 people show up, so we took two dragon boats out. Gayle Gordon led one boat, and I lead the other. Both Stephen Wong and Stephen Mirowski started steering. Ashleigh and Wendy were lead strokes on the Chinchillas. Tzhe and Keng were lead strokes on the Donkeys. Gayle and I also took some turns at lead stroke as well. more »

A Tartan Day dragon boat paddle practice... with bagpiper and proclamation reading
by
Todd
on Sun 06 Apr 2008 09:30 PM PDT
A very different kind of dragon boat practice today. When I arrived, we passed out the tartan kilts, and the tartan sashes. Because... We had a City TV cameraman John Wilson come film our practice this afternoon.
And a bagpiper, my friend Joe McDonald, walked over from the Skytrain station, while we were doing our warm-up under the covered gazebo. We had a proclamation reading ceremony with the deputy mayor of Vancouver, city councilor Raymond Louie. + PICTURES more »

Sunday March 30, we had 19 paddlers
GREAT PRACTICE in the sunshine. This is what dragon boat practices are all about... great people, great weather, great experience paddling on a Sunday afternoon. We did our usual paddle around East Basin, then up to David Lam Park......
Tuesday Beginner night
14 paddlers out on the water Tuesday... and the boat felt strong, even with 3 new rookies. Joe Easton, a 6 year veteran on the Gung Haggis team says the team is way ahead of where we were this time last year. more »
