Flushing, New York 2008 Race Write-Up
Posted September 1st, 2008 by rbelinoTeaming up as Boston Fusion with our friends, Harvard Dudley, DBCB headed to Flushing, New York, the weekend of August 2nd to race in the Hong Kong Dragon Boat Festival. DBCB hadn't planned on racing at this festival since it fell on the heels of the Montreal race just one weekend before, but several of our die-hard paddling junkies who just couldn't get enough racing made the trek to New York City for a fun one-day race!
Rock Climbing with CG and Sarah at Metro Rock
Posted August 10th, 2008 by adkphotoDBCB would like to thank awesome teammate CG and her rock climbing collegue Sarah, for teaching us the ropes of indoor rock climbing. My shoulders will ache for days and I don't know when I'll be able to grip a pen again, but it was SOOO worth it! THANK YOU ladies for showing us a little slice of your Heaven. Want to rock climb yourself? Check out www.MetroRock.com
Congratulations Drachenfurie and Heatwave on a job well done in Montréal this past weekend!!!!
Posted July 30th, 2008 by adkphotoWelcome The Kingston Royals!!!
Posted July 17th, 2008 by adkphotoOne of the many things I love about The Dragon Boat Club of Boston is how diverse our crew is and we had the pleasure to have four paddlers from The Kingston Royals, England join us for a practice. They were passing through on an outrigger expedition. DBCB wishes Mike, Andy, Ronan, Peter and the rest of their team mates from across the Atlantic all the best with their dragon boat season! If you are ever in the Thames in Teddington area, give them a big Bawston hug and pint from us! You can check them out at www.kingstonroyals.com - GO ROYALS!!!
A HUGE THANK YOU to the Yee Siblings and Charles River Canoe & Kayak
Posted July 17th, 2008 by adkphotoDBCB wants to THANK Gar-Hay and her siblings Theo and Al for being so gracious in helping us rent canoes and kayaks during our Celebratory Potluck Picnic at the Allston location of the Charles River Canoe & Kayak (back in the day, they used to sponsor Drachen Furie). It was the highlight of our outting. If you want to check out the fun, go to www.paddleboston.com. Happy paddling!
Ithaca Race 2008 Write-up (by Rachel Belino)
Posted July 16th, 2008 by adkphotoA great effort this weekend by our Ithaca crew placed DBCB 7th out of 15 premier mixed teams who battled it out in the Cayuga inlet this past Saturday in Ithaca, New York. The narrow inlet made for a thrilling race course and for some intense dragon boat racing!! With temps on Saturday hitting ninety degrees and up, our crew battled the heat and raced 5 times against challenging and familiar competition from the East Coast: Extreme NY, NY Wall Street, Philadelphia Police, etc.
