TWO ISLANDS PADDLE
|
|
Forty paddlers from Clarence Coast, Grafton and Titivators (Urunga) Dragon Boat clubs left the shore of Grafton Rowing Club and paddled 10 kms around Susan Island returning to the Rowing Club. A good stretch, a few changeover of paddlers and a sugar fix of snakes to nibble on and we headed out again to do another 10kms around Elizabeth Island. Whilst on the water we were passed by many rowers from Grafton, Iluka and Lower Clarence Rowing Clubs, also completing the challenge.

ANZAC DAY 2019 SOCIAL PADDLE WITH GRAFTON CLUB |
|
|
As both boats drew alongside each other on the river, the Ode was solemnly read and members placed a sprig of rosemary into the waters and paddlers reflected on how lucky we are to live and have family in both Australia and New Zealand. Following a surreal paddle, watched closely by a territorial circling hawk, we returned for a breakfast feast of bacon and egg rolls, fresh fruit and juice. The morning was completed with the traditional rowdy game of 2-UP with the river and a magnificent fig tree as the backdrop. A special thank you to Andy and Vicki at 'The Farm' for their hospitality!

WORLD COMPLIMENT DAY

|
After launching from Witonga Boat Ramp, in near perfect conditions – outgoing tide and East South East winds, CCDBC paddlers returned to shore and enjoyed the bi-monthly sausage sizzle. We also dug deep into the compliment box and withdrew a compliment and with each compliment read you could see a smile spread across the persons face.

From November 1 Clarence Coast Dragon Boat Club men have been quietly committed to 30 hairy days and nights growing moustaches and beards in support of Movember to raise awareness for men’s mental health, prostate cancer and testicular cancer research. But, beside every great Mo Bro is an equally amazing Mo Sista, acting as a driving force for men’s health awareness and providing invaluable encouragement for the moustache.

BUNNINGS BBQ CHEFS

FIFA WORLD CUP
|
|
Paddlers have been immersed in football. From being allocated one of 32 teams to follow, During warm ups they greeted each other in the language of their country, they tried very hard to pronounce their player’s names (some with 25 letters) and then provided some scandalous facts about their teams. The Icelandic Clap was certainly one to get the heart rate up!
Two mornings we paddled in traditional dress to the delights of other boats on the Clarence River.
