Gung Haggis Fat Choy Dragon Boat 2005 summary

on Sun 09 Oct 2005 10:26 PM PDT
The summer dragon boat paddling season is finally over. We started paddling in April and finished paddling in September on Labour Day weekend, with a wrap up dinner with surprise gifts for all paddlers attending!. And during these past nine months from February to October we made lots of new friends, welcomed old friends, and had soooooo much fun!
Not only did we paddle dragon boats, but we carved our own wooden dragon heads and tails from cedar, put a dragon boat in Vancouver's St. Patrick's Day Parade, got featured on national television, developed a reputation as a "real fun" team, hosted parties at The Roxy, made lots of dragon boat team friends, and raced for medals in every race we entered.

Last year was my first time participating, as I joined up with Tacoma's Destiny Dragons, gathering many Vancouver area paddlers to join in cross-border friendship. This year, I became team photographer due to a shoulder injury. But we had core Gung Haggis team paddlers paddling, as we have a good friendship with the Tacoma Dragon Boat Association and have joined them for events in Tacoma, Seattle, and Vancouver over the past few years. Coach Clem is an ex-patriate Canadian from Alberta, and balances the team on participation and fun. It's always a pleasure to join this crew. more »
