SPLASHING OUT WITH PRECISION FOR 2020
after that. Saturday, 22nd December, saw the final effort for the year and Christmas post paddling coffee celebration for the "Pinkaboutit" team, complete with our own Santa!.
Dragons Abreast Final Regatta and Christmas 2020 "Despite Covid and its unpredictable plans for the country, Dragons Abreast Bribie Island still lives the dream; complete with social distancing, of course. Whilst there were restrictions state wide on regattas we managed to slip in attendance for the last one for 2020. Our final regatta was Christmas on the Creek, the annual event held at Currumbin. It was a long day but well worth the effort. It was quite windy on the creek but we managed to stay afloat in all our races unlike two small boats which had a real sinking feeling and had to be rescued! DABI performed exceptionally well and had a few seconds and thirds and came third in the Breast Cancer Survivors Pink final. We looked so good out there. The timing in all races was outstanding. In the 1000m we really surprised ourselves and put in the most wonderful performance. Our team just powered their boat and discovered that they could do the 1000m race quite easily and we were not the last in this event!
Whilst we all enjoy our paddling, we are constantly aware of our mission as Dragons Abreast Bribie Island. It is to continually promote awareness of and recovery from breast cancer through the uplifting experience and exercise of dragon boating. We advocate survivors and their supporters, both male and female, to come along, enjoy and participate in an encouraging environment of camaraderie and fun. Paddling commences again 9th January. We look forward to welcoming stretches, social distancing and extended muscles this 2021! For further information contact President

I'm sure we'll all be keen to do other 1000m races
