It's on my Facebook page , I figured you knew !

How is it the last day of January?
February is going to be crazy , it's the first time I will be away from my precious boys for more than a few days...up to 10 days, maybe more.

I'm leaving them in the hands of my Mum, they will be fine. She was a mum at 18yrs (+10months) and I turned out 'fabulously'  survived.

My first big adventure is my first time Dragon Boat Paddling in Chinese New Year Regatta held at Cockle Bay, City of Sydney’s Dragon Boat Races .I am paddling in the Cancer survivor's team boat with other paddlers from Combined Western Region.
Witness the spirit and power of the dragon come alive in Sydney as 12-metre long boats, large enough to seat up to 20 paddlers, battle it out to the beating of drums. Each boat has an ornately carved dragon’s head at the bow and a tail at the stern, while the hull is painted with dragon scales and the paddles represent the claws.



Dragons Abreast members provide a “face” for the breast cancer statistics whilst spreading the message of breast cancer awareness through participation in the wonderful and strenuous sport of dragon boat racing.

High on our list of priorities is having fun, trying new things, meeting interesting people and being involved in a challenging, physical activity whilst promoting breast cancer awareness.

Thank you - I really enjoy paddling , great for fitness and it is good for tightness in my arms/shoulders from surgery 18/12 months ago. They are a great fun crew , very social sport for all ages and abilities. We have a almost blind paddler and men & women in their 70's great grandmasters.

Good luck for both the paddle and the operation - I hope that both outcomes are amazing successful for your body and spirit.

I am stepping outside my comfort zone in February.

Thank you -Paddling is great for fitness and it's a very social sport for all ages and abilities. We have an almost blind paddler and men & women in their 60's & 70's great grandmasters - who keep up and out do me.
Most clubs let you have a go for $2 - $10 and even free the first time.

You're starting to become a dare devil Trish - or your bravery levels have gone up a notch! I would be freaked out being out in the water in a boat... I am so not a water person at all lol

You are one of the bravest people I know, and it has nothing to do with going out on the water :)

Good luck on your race! Take lots of pics :)

MC xoxo
