Hi everyone from the hot sunny beaches of Vernon.

It's been a great day of racing...200m, 500m and 1000m races. Without Warning and Pacific Reach is up here with two strong teams, but Gorging Dragons is here too....What is great, is Calgary (Calgary Race Club) & Edmonton (Para Huti Huti) has sent some strong crews to ensure that medals go back to Alberta....

The racing up here is amazing.....strong crews getting ready for the Nationals.... Smile

We will keep you posted, on the results tomorrow...

Digger Pig happy?

How would you feel if this happened to you?



Congrats on the hardware!  Also I want to thank Digger Pig and Sudden Impact for allowing me to paddle with you guys in Vernon.

Yes I am happy ... for now  Razz

Thanks goes out to Backward Rowing, Rightarm, and Lethal Weapon for lending us a hand this weekend.  Vernon was an awesome venue and I would encourage everyone to check it out next year!  The beach was great and the sights on the water and off were even better  Twisted Evil

Great racing this weekend from Topmade Fusion - TDBC, , Calgary Race Club, Gorging Dragons, Pacific Reach,  and Without Warning

It was too bad that Gorging and Calgary got tangled up in the final but all teams were very competitive over the two days and I can't wait until Calgary!

It's good to see our crew has made the trip home safe.

That water was awesome ... I'll get thrown into anytime!


Thanks to Water's Edge for running a great race weekend as well!

Okay DiggerPig . . . you said in the beer garden that you were doing an encore performance.  Well, let's hear a clip of the original serenading in Race 43.


Righteous Brothers (or Brother Digger Pig)
You've Lost that Lovin' Feeling

You never close your eyes anymore when I kiss your lips
And there's no tenderness like before in your fingertips
You're trying hard not to show it, (baby)
But baby, baby I know it

You've lost that lovin' feeling
Whoa, that lovin' feeling
You've lost that lovin' feeling
Now it's gone, gone, gone wooooooh

Now there's no welcome look in your eyes when I reach for you
And now your're starting to critisize little things I do
It makes me just feel like crying, (baby)
'Cause baby, something beautiful's dying

You've lost that lovin' feeling
Whoa, that lovin' feeling
You've lost that lovin' feeling
Now it's gone, gone, gone wooooooh

Baby, baby, I'd get down on my knees for you
If you would only love me like you used to do, yeah

We had a love, a love, a love you don't find everyday
So don't, don't, don't, don't let it slip away

Baby (baby), baby (baby),
I beg of you please,(please) please (please)
I need your love (I need your love), I need your love (I need your love)
So bring it on back (So bring it on back), Bring it on back (so bring it on back)

Bring back that lovin' feeling
Whoa, that lovin' feeling
Bring back that lovin' feeling
'Cause it's gone, gone, gone
And I can't go on
no

Bring back that lovin' feeling,
Whoa, that lovin' feeling
Bring back that lovin' feeling
'Cause it's gone, gone

According to the steersperson from Gorging...it was a love tap....

According to CRC....THEY HIT US.....

and the debates continues.......  Laughing

If you look at the video, you can't really see the hit, but you can see something did happen.
