Dragonboat Queen

Yes it has been a long time since I have put a post to the blog. I was hoping to be able to put more personal pictures up but the memory card on my camera was defective and I only managed to save what I had on the internal memory. So I have one nice picture of Nancy and Pepper.

I went to Future Shop and they replaced the memory card so hopefully I will not be in this position again. Sorry Nancy, Gay and Dad, I lost the awesome picture of the three of you at the pond and of the beautiful water lilies.

So you know that every year I turn into the Dragonboat Queen for the Mohawk Dragonflies. I had a blast this year and had a really good team. We came in second twice which is just fantastic! We also came in second in the fundraising and earned ourselves a bottle of wine each and a free admission into the Discovery Centre. Cool eh?

Here I am in the marshalling area getting the team in order so that our boat is trimmed properly and moves well in the water.

This year I was the caller/drummer so that our team was paddling in synchronicity. They look pretty good eh? All paddles hitting the water at the same time.

Here we are actually racing.

In the tent giving after race feedback. The team this year was so committed. It was a pleasure to race with them.

One of our team members got someone to take a team photo for us. What a great team!
