We did it again! Alan and the mighty Red Head Roar managed to sneak over the line millimetres ahead of the Odd Bods in the annual Community Dragon Boat event final to take victory for the second time running! We overcame a panicked start to find our usual faultless rhythm and seemed to come from behind to charge at the finish line. It came down to the wire in the end - what with the chop on the water, and the wind in our ears, it was hard to tell who won for a while! (How bout those clichés heh? I think I got them all in.)
Of course, there must be no doubt the underlying strength of the Roar can be partly attributed to a handful of Surfermums (Cathy, Fran, Annie, and yours truly) who had masses of pent up energy from frustrating weekends without surf. ;)
And, um, those big blokes might've helped too.
Thank you to Alan and the crew for making a long day worth it in the end - I hope there won't be too many sore heads in the morning. And thankyou to all of our supporters...mostly the kids -who had a blast playing in the river for a change!

Surf was rubbish anyway.
