Photos from First paddle on Pumicestone Passage Bribie Island March 14.

Sat. March 14 at mid-day a mixture of "Pink Snapdragons" from Redcliffe and "Pinkaboutit" of Bribie Island enjoyed the first paddle in the new DABI Dragonboat "Spirit of Bribie" on Pumicestone Passage.

Our new dark pink shirts with DAA logo one side front, Rotary logo other side front and our lovely big Dragon on the back were admired by all.

Lyn Van Buerle can be seen in the front with her camera in the second photo and she was there to cheer us on and heard some interesting remarks from the local fishermen who were fishing from the bank near us. They seemed to think we were not doing too badly!

Thanks to the sweeps from Redcliffe who gave up their time to help us.

Bribie Dragonboat is "On The Water"

March 15 DABI welcomed some members from "Pink Snapdragons" Redcliffe including Del Martin, sweep and Marla Harris, sweep in training, to Sandstone Point where our new Dragonboat is housed in the enclosure at the Navel Cadet Centre "T.S.Koopa"

Roger, husband of Lorraine Martin has constructed a trolley to transport our boat to Pumicestone Passage, and resplendant in our new dark pink shirts with Dragon Logo, we placed it in the water.

Some of our members have not paddled before and they all agreed that Dragonboat paddling is for them. We also gained a new member who was brought along to try but joined straight away.

Sat. 21 March the some of the Brisbane girls are visiting us for another training paddle.

Our Big launch and "Blessing the Boat" will be on May 3 at 8A.M. at Brennan Park, Bribie Island and we welcome all who wish to attend and help celebrate with us.
