We're Back on the Water
On May 3rd we put the Friends Abreast boat back in the water. We met at the Petznick's farm and with a lot of help put the dragon boat on the trailer. From there we met again at the boat launch in Salmon Arm and launched the boat in the lake for the season. The awakening of the dragon and dotting of the eye ceremony was performed that day.
A burger bash followed at the Hagel's home with many members and their partners in attendance to help celebrate the beginning of another paddling season.
We started our practices on May 5 and will practice each Tues and Thurs evening until we run out of water in the bay.
We are very excited about our team this year with several new paddlers. We are still looking for Breast Cancer survivors to come and join us. No experience necessary.
See you on the Shuswap - enjoy the paddling season!
