It's the time we have all been waiting for!
Over the winter we have been training hard both on and off the water in anticipation for Race Season. It is a very exciting time for those of us who have raced before and can't wait to get out there again but also for some of us it will be our first time racing against another boat, another team!
To kick off, we travelled to Athy in County Kildare to take part in the first IDBA Regatta of the year, before heading to Barcelona later this month to take part in their 5th International Dragon Boat Regatta, where we will paddle in a milder climate against teams from all around the world. Later in the year we will be in Carlow and then Lough Rinn.
We got off to a great start in Athy with two crews entered, Luna and Stella. Luna brought home Bronze ... and it was Gold for some of our younger family members who competed with the Donegal Dragons U18 crew.
What a way to start the season! onward and upwards...Down and ready...
Good Luck to our fellow paddlers from near and far, we look forward to meeting you.
