Great pictures Lethal! Thanks for sharing them!! It was the first time I'd ever been to Nanaimo and I must agree... GREAT FESTIVAL!! No complaints at all!! (okay, maybe just one but I'll keep that to myself) Got a tad wet on Saturday... thanks to whoever packed all our stuff into the tent while we were racing through the rain storm. It was a hair raising  (literally) experience being out there... we were static charged with energy!!! I am from StrangeBrew and had the honour of paddling with the Gorging Dragons this past weekend. Thank you GD for the great experience, laughs and good time!! Watch out, cuz the Brew Crew is coming thru!! ha ha ha!!  MORE BEER!!  Thanks to all the volunteers!! You guys made it an unforgettable weekend!!!  |

Great Pics, there was a fourth team in the Platinum A final, Precision Impossible, (the new PI) even though we didn't win a medal we did post the 3rd fastest time of the weekend. It was a great festival and we were honored to paddle against such strong Victoria teams!!

Nice pics Lethal!
I see that you were able to get on chase boat again. And did you get a medal too? Yaman! Not a Bridesmaid this year! My good friends at Absolut carried my fat a$$ to a Bronze in the Platinum final! I got to find a way to get in a boat somehow! |

 BAstion Dragons thanks you for the picture. We are a team of newbies and have less than two months behind us so we were thrilled to win gold in the Amythest division. Thanks to Claire and Robert. We seemed to shine in the Beer Garden and after paddling in the downpour we know what a watersport is. Great festival--well run with great timing and logistics. Well done Ian.Andrea, Eric and your crews. |

Yes! I saw it at Alcan as well and it blew me away I think the lady said it was 14 years old or something like that. BUt like I said, too cute and small to have any effective use as a missile |

Great photos! I, too, was there, and took photos from the shore  knowing full well I'd be looking at tiny little boats and lots of sky and water in the prints...No matter though, what a great festival! It was the first time our team had been to a big festival, I see why I always hear good things about Nanaimo! We had tonnes of fun and placed 2nd in the Pearl A Final which we were happy with considering we only had 16 paddlers on Sunday... Looking forward to Vic in August for sure  |

Really?! Oh dear. No one said anything to us about it and they definately noticed we were short paddlers. We had 18 on Sat, but then ended up being short on Sunday.
