2009 Sproat Lake Challenge (West Coast Dragon Boat Society Annual Event)
Sep 27
2009
Our Sproat Lake Challenge Poster Girl is really a Vermont Teddy Bear belonging to a member of Phoenix Rising.
My thanks to the West Coast Dragon Boat Society for their kindness in permitting me to use their chase boats as a platform for photographing much of the event! The results from this year`s Challenge are below.
