TROLL ALERT: Victoria Dragon Boat Festival

rb, Kai Paddler, Diggerpig and kenbo604. You will be proven WRONG!
I heard that
Scurvy Dawgs
crew had their water rations replaced with 190 proof rum and oral-steroids. On top of that, they are ordered to drink a litre of that Red Rain two minutes before the race. And if that wasn't bad enough, the tactic they will employ should the not be in first place is the drummer will use the grappling harpoon and the "engine room" will board the rabbitting boat to evacuate the offending boat's crew via the plank .... within seconds!
Also, I heard that
Brew Crew
has an insidious plan to challenge all the steerpeople to a airband and boat racing competition at the beer garden in order to intoxicate them before the finals. So if you see any top-ranked teams spinning out, it won't be caused by the currents -- it is because of Brew Crew!
I've warned you... so keep your eye out, and stay safe... unless you're a paddler... in that case FOCUS IN THE BOAT!

Kai paddler,
Is it going to be a full Kai team? There is a rumour goin around that you may be picking up a few False Creek guys to fill some empty seats. Either way it should be a great weekend.

Random Predictions
1) Gorging
2) Kai
3) DWW
4) Dragonauts
Then in no particular order VO2, Sudden Impact, Eye of the Dragon, Xtreme Reach...
I would add Navy in the top 5, and PI in the next 5.
You've forgotten Portland Fire Dragons that have finished higher than Sudden Impact, Eye of the Dragon, Xtreme Reach and PI in Kelowna last year and/or Nanaimo this year.

These are simply some thoughts I had.. didn't mean to leave ne one out as I'm not too familiar with all the other teams
Best of luck to Portland FD!

again?! *gasp*
maybe the CORA National OC races the same weekend would be a good enough magnet for the False Creek guys.

only 2 teams from FC sprint program are doing the CORA Nationals next weekend, although a few others might be on other teams. that still leaves plenty of people for Kai to pick up if they so choose

Never give a match up halfway through. Never say that you do not feel up to it, that your condition is bad, and throw in the towel. Fight to the very end, always looking for your chance to break through.

It has been tradition that we have picked up FCCRC paddlers for this race and I forsee a "Kai Creek" or a "False Kai" team happening again this year but I'm not sure of the details at this point. I'm not on that committee.

Here's a prediction!
EOTD Vs Kai.
Every year since 2002, If Kai and Eye were in the festival, then they raced. I'm betting this year is a repeat.

two notes:
Eye of the Dragon IS racing Kai. Good call.
Brew Crew got hosed in the draw, having to race Dragonaughts in round 1. Their results this year are better than several other teams in the Lane 3 1-seed.

it kinda sucks that brew crew got the crap of the draw. but in reality it shouldn't matter where u are seeded, just race hard and the results will speak for themselves. good luck to all the teams! race hard, have fun... and B-E-E-R (you get the idea).
