Final Fling

The Final Fling was held Sunday, September 25th, a very rainy and windy day. We appreciate the Paddling for Life and Pearl Warriors Teams from Powell River, The Dragontinis from Pender Harbour and our three teams McKenzie Mussels, Porpoise Paddlers and Sea Gals for braving the wind and rain and making our first mini regatta such a success. Although the Obstacle Course race and the 'Guts and Glory' race had to be cancelled due to high winds each team had 3 races before we retired to the Lighthouse Pub for drinks, food and to warm up. Thank you to all the paddlers and volunteers for their efforts.

Sea Gals Wine Festival

On Saturday, September 17th Darlene Kerfoot hosted the Sea Gals Team to a private Wine Festival. Darlene won 20 bottles of wine in a raffle during the Nanaimo Dragon Boat Festival and invited us all up to her lovely home in Pender Harbour for a wine-tasting evening. We enjoyed lots of wine, great food, a spirited game of Bocci Ball - using our own rules - and we held a Silent Auction as a team fundraiser. The items were from a hamper the team won - 3rd prize for costumes at the Women's False Creek Regatta in May. The bidding on some items was pretty fierce and we managed to raise $410 for our team. Thank you first to Darlene for organizing and hosting this fun event and to all who participated and made it such a great evening. Way to Go Sea Gals!!!!!

After a strenuous day of racing we will retire to the Lighthouse Pub for drinks, appies and an awards ceremony - cost $15 each. Please contact your team manager to ensure you are registered on a team and have your tickets for the after paddling party. Come out and enjoy the fun!!!!!!
