2015 was the the first year that Riverside Secondary High School in Port Coquitlam had a dragon boat team thanks to the Nothin’ Dragon Masters, and after a few years break due to the pandemic, the school is back on the water at Rocky Point once a week.
“It has been a great team building experience for us. Many thanks to the Nothin' Dragon Masters dragon boat team for supplying the paddles, PFD’s, dragon boat and mentorship,” said their coach Erica.
Nothin' Dragon resumes training in July
We’re back! Our trainings have resumed on Mondays and Thursdays at Rocky Point and we couldn’t be happier.
While it was hard to remember some of our calls on the boat after 16 months away, we managed to get back on the saddle and take it away.
Thanks to the executive, Captain Denise and Coach Kris, we are enjoying the warm weather, the water, and team camaraderie again.
Putting the coach boat and two dragon boats on the water means help from those able to come early to get the boats out and those that stay after to put them. Many hands make light work! Thanks to Linda and Denise for managing that.
Thursdays we head to the Port Moody Legion for libation and a meal together. It’s a great way to wrap up the week.
While most events are a no-go this year, our team has registered a boat for the Penticton Regatta on Sept. 11 and 12.
