2009 SaveOn Dragon Boat Festival – Nanaimo, B.C.
Jul 10
2009
Those of you who missed last night’s Festival roundup at the Oxy pub missed one hell of a party. Chix with Stix paddlers established themselves as the noisiest bunch of accomplished athletes attending. I, however, left early to escape the 100dB fun, since my hearing aids made it impossible to hear anything (I’ll explain that if anyone’s curious – just leave a comment and ask), and because my partner, who doesn’t have or need hearing aids, couldn’t hear anything either.
WHAT A ROWDY BUNCH OF TERRIFIC PEOPLE PADDLERS ARE!
The message is simple: If you didn’t know about the Oxy party, the free appies, or the raucous fun everyone shares, just show up next year, sometime after 6:00 PM, insert your ear plugs and have a ball!

“Paddlers to the right, others to the left…”
NOTE: You can download the images available without cost for non-commercial use, but you need to know how to do it, so listen up:
When you find an image you want, click on the thumbnail copy to make a larger copy appear on the right side of the screen. Then click on the BUY button. When you do that, you will see a product screen with four tabs at the top.
Click on the DOWNLOAD tab and download the image. That’s all there is to it! Some earlier dragon boat folders were not configured for free downloads – if you run across one of them, send me a note including the name of the folder, and I will update it for free downloads.
