To the Entire Qld Dragon Boat Community,
 
Congratulations to all at the Sanctuary Cove Prostate Cancer Fund Raising Race Day.
 
Today showcased  the true spirit of us dragon boaters to create an awesome day of racing, comaraderie and friendship.  For an event which was initially a total disorganizantional mess, to be so well run with efficiency and expertise, is a credit to all who assisted.
 
There were 13 boats racing, 4 rescue boats, plus 2 huge spectator boats, with perfect sunny, calm weather- all made for a fantastic spectacle.
 
Special accolades to Julie, Helen, Robyn and John- from Gold Coast Dragons- for their mathamatical genius and expertise as the Starting and Finishing judges of both the Marathon and the Dash for Cash races. Thanks to Blair, Lorrie and Norm for their experience and common sense. To all the competitors and helpers who assisted as boat loaders, handlers, etc- this made the Dash for Cash for a quick turnaround of races.  Of course, Paul did his "thing", as always, and took charge, but today was a real team effort from so many which prevented it from turning into a frustratingly frustrating day.
 
To see Clubs intermingling while having lunch, sharing paddlers to make full boats, all added to the day.  Huge accolades to Cooloola  who travelled down as a team to compete, and finished well.  No sinkings, no tip overs-just good, hard, fun racing.
 
Today raised approx $1,700 from team entry fess, plus the $1,000 Dash for Cash winnings which were donated back to the Cancer Council from the winning clubs Broadwater Dragons and Burleigh Fire Dragons (Plus the raffle takings).
 
I don’t think Sanctuary Cove will ever be the same again- after having almost 300 lycra cladded, wet suited paddlers parading through their streets and shops.
 
Well done to dragon boating in Queensland.  Events like this puts the fun back into competing.
 
Now let’s everyone take our travelling roadshow to Tin Can Bay in July, and do it all again.
