From Scaly Justice draogn boat team in Vancouver – Stuart Higginson, Sarah Glazzard and Linda Pleece
From Jericho paddling club – Craig Brown – longtime friend and original 1997 paddler on the Celebration/Gung Haggis team.

After a few practice starts for the camera, then a demonstration

after B Final – waving to the crowd!

The UA Power Dragons watched the races from the shoreline, and
chanted our names after the race. They have turned into our #1
cheering section. It was great to see such enthusiasm in a 1st
year team. I coach them on Saturday mornings.
