We took advantage of a break between the showers to paddle in perfect conditions down to Coach’s Beach on Pig Island. A fun paddle, even considering we run onto a sand bank on the way back.

A message from Club President Marilyn Prothero on the morning after hosting the Southern Region Sports & Community Dragon Boat Regatta, at Riverbank Reserve, North Nowra on the beautiful NSW South Coast:

“What a fantastic day yesterday hosting the Southern Region Sports and Community Dragon Boat Regatta.

On behalf of Nowra Waterdragons, I want to sincerely thank our club members, volunteers, officials, paddlers and participating clubs and community teams for helping make the day such a success.

I am incredibly proud that our small regional club was able to organise and run such a positive, welcoming and well-supported event for our paddling and wider community.

We extend our thanks to Marine Rescue Shoalhaven, Red Medical, Traffic Professionals, Northy Gym, our VIP guests, and all the vendors.

Thank you to everyone who contributed — on the water, on land, behind the scenes and in the lead-up, not forgetting today’s clean-up!

Days like this show the strength, generosity and spirit of our dragon boat community.”

💙🩵♥️💛
Marilyn
