The one-day event will be held on Sunday, May 26, and organizers say more than 1,000 paddlers are expected to participate in 200-metre #SprintRaces on the #GorgeWaterway.
You can see how seating changes are done, while we are out on the waters. Everyone except the 2 people transferring, row by row, has to brace the dragonboat while these seat changes happen.
#FairwayGorgePaddlingClub is located in the curved building you see, in this looking up from ground photo. I was waiting for Mom to bring car from parking lot. I loved how beautiful the skies looked & took 2 photos, while I was waiting. One is of the skies & buildings. Another of my pants & sneakers.
Selkirk Trestle, walking & cycling bridge - spans from Banfield Park to Selkirk waterway paths on other side of waterway.
Views from the dragonboat. From today's practice. I'm with new #ParaDragonboating pilot program, run by #FairwayGorgePaddlingClub on Jutland. Our team name: Storm the Gorge.
40 minutes before our practice ended - big gust of wind blew my hat off my head & into the waters. We paddled backwards to rescue it. I tossed rescued, soaked hat on dock & we picked up another paddler, while docked.
Part of our #ParaDragonboating - Storm the Gorge #team 🥰 We're all enjoying learning on the waters together. We have a very #diverse & #inclusive group of fine folks on our team. It's sure nice to be around fellow #disabled comrades. It's sure nice to feel fully included. It's great to be around people who understand me & vice versa.
