Title: Tacoma Dragon Boat Association - makes the Seattle Times. Post by: gunghaggis on July 28, 2006, 06:32:48 PM Hi, Paddlers-
Here's a link to an article about Tacoma Dragon Boat Association in the Seattle Times yesterday (July 27,2006). This article describes how this group now dragon boat paddles 5 times a week on Lake Union in Seattle WA, after starting out in Tacoma in 2001. They interview my friend Lee Bjorklund. Tacoma uses the Hawaiian word "pau" to mean "stop" - since coach Clem Corbiel used Hawaiian outrigger language to train the Tacoma dragon boat teams, even though Clem is a native Albertan from Canada who used to race flatwater canoe against Hugh Fisher in the Canadian canoe organizations. http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/outdoors/2003153650_nwwboatcolumn27.html (http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/outdoors/2003153650_nwwboatcolumn27.html) |
