Title: Vancouver Island Championships - August 11th Post by: island girl on August 10, 2007, 05:15:51 PM Good luck to everyone on the water tomorrow at "The Gorge" Festival, aka Vancouver Island Championships.
If the finals in Nanaimo are any indication it is going to be some very tight racing in the final heats, and the beer gardens are always a great time!

Thank you to GO and the volunteers for a well-organized event. It was great to see those crazy pirates again! Congratulations to the Dragonauts for a hard earned victory!
I think this is how the top 8 mixed teams played out.... 1. Dragonauts 2. Navy Dragon Anchors 3. Xtreme Reach 4. ssSteam Heat 5. Precision Impossible 6. Brew Crew 7. Scurvy Dawgs 8. Blu By U Sorry, I'm not sure how the ladies division finished but Nusalon from Nanaimo took first. Looking forward to seeing you all again next weekend!

Title: Re: Vancouver Island Championships - August 11th Post by: dogpaddle on August 12, 2007, 10:54:44 AM Crap! I always get one wrong somewhere....So, that would make Brew Crew fifth and PI sixth.
Great racing, Brew Crew...Re-match next weekend? :D Title: Re: Vancouver Island Championships - August 11th Post by: Tripper on August 12, 2007, 12:28:30 PM Does anyone have any race footage or pictures??
:( I wasn't able to make it over for the races, but I hear the top 2 shaped up like Naniamo....I guess we have a rivalry on our hands!! The standings look pretty good to me.....but where did "scurvy dawgs" come from.....other than out of No-where!! Good job guys!! Title: Scurvy Dawgs Post by: Backward Rowing on August 12, 2007, 02:35:45 PM Scury Dawgs are a second year team. They were ranked 67ish (32) with 8 points last year. They only competed in the Vancouver Island Dragon Boat Championships and the Victoria Dragon Boat Festival last year.

(i assume it was them and not some random pirates) |
