Some Storm the Gorge photos from Super Sprints .

Great fun, & drumming in our first races! We did pretty good, considering we've had only 7 practices. We beat a more experienced team that has trained twice/week for a few years in our last race with time of 1:08 minutes!

I'm exhausted & bit sore. Putting ice packs on & then having a long hot bath 🛀

Me & two fellow paddlers. Two women, one on each side of me.
Our team, in dragon boat, braking to hold.

Good last May training day with our team, Storm the Gorge. We've only had 7 team practices in 's 1st for , running out of on Jutland in area. After practice wrap debriefing, I performed an Indigenous water song, to honour the waters we train & will be racing on & to protect our team on the waters.

Para dragon boat team is loaded in boat. Our coach is on dock, pointing at boat.
Part of our team with me in middle. I'm holding a hand drum & talking about gifting the song to Gorge waterway & our team.

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.

I had fun this afternoon. At Fairway Gorge Paddling Club - ’s Open House on Jutland. I was the only disabled person who attended. Pics(except the panoramic one) are from my Mom.

Met my para-dragonboating coach, Katy & enjoyed some chats with her, at the open house. Met some support staff for the para-dragonboating pilot program too. We start the program next Saturday🙂🛶🌊

Panoramic view of wharf, docks, bicycle & footbridge & Gorge waterway.
Me in second to last right side of dragon boat, holding paddle. 4 paddlers are around me in other seats. Steering safety person is standing behind us. Boat is being clipped back on to dock.

Features the coach I'm training with, starting April 6 for #VictoriaBC 1st para-dragonboating pilot program.

In 2019, the International #DragonBoat Federation made the bold move to include new division for future world championships; #Paradragons. Composed of #paddlers with varying abilities ranging from overcoming psychological trauma to navigating physical challenges, this is a landmark achievement for the international #DisabilityCommunity.

Yall Im obsessed wit time travel as you know!. To me time capsules are everything. I love time capsules. I buried one 2 years ago.
What would you put in yall time capsule? Buried deep and found like 100 years from now.
What would that tell future generations bout life today?

Preciate yall replies for my book.
Love Jaden xxx

wx1g,

@AE4WX @Jaden2 I might also put in a log sheet from my best Field Day performances. Speaking of which, I'd include the bug used to make all those contacts. How about a medal from my first race?
