Title: Save On Foods (Nanaimo) Dragon Boat Festival 2009
Post by: Backward Rowing on July 12, 2009, 04:00:45 PM
I had to leave early :(
I heard the wind picked up on the Sunday afternoon races jeopardising the mixed final races. What so happened?

The races after the Breast Cancer Survivors and the Bronze B finals were cancelled due to high winds and choppy waters.

Just meant more time in the beer gardens! :Cheers:

Placements were calculated based on cumulative time for the first 3 races for those that didn't get to race their final race.

Congratulations to all the teams in this years festival in Nanaimo. I heard it was another successful event, with good times had by all. I was fortunate enough to catch the Carnation Ceremony and make a quick stop in the beer gardens for a beverage. (what a party!!!!! :P) ...... Had the makings of a great beer commercial. :lol: Cheers 'til next year!!

AAAhhh
Great Weather on Saturday and nice sailing weather on Sunday  :x
Either way Nanaimo Lived up to its reputation as kick butt Regatta with good racing and a mediocre beer garder....(I kid, I kid!  :lol:)
Of course as a professional Courtesy I do not bring my camera into the beer garden (and what tales it would tell....) but I saw a lot of mini waterproof ones (the only kind to bring!) that were busy....
(maybe telephoto from a top of a grassy knoll would work..... :P)
Either way here are some pics I or my lovely assistant MK took of the racing and festivities
