In Honour of 20 Years of Abreast in a Boat
Beautiful pancake weather
We’re out on the water with them.
We’ll fuel ourselves with coffee
As we paddle with special friends
We will honour our Vancouver sisters
They’re the reason that we’re all afloat
As we toast twenty years of great paddling
We’ll be having breakfast in a boat — in Winnipeg, Canada.]]><![CDATA[ Festival News!]]>877f94c5a053651d3a8c076ff45dd05a2015-06-15T11:03:36+01:002015-06-15T11:03:36+01:00Dragons Abreast Australia

20 YODA saw the waters of Blackwattle Bay covered in PINK!! Dr Don was spotted here and there, pink bras flung overboard with careless abandon, pelicans lining up to see thongs in action. A great day of gathering together of friends and members to decorate boats, reflect on what to be grateful for, EAT & drink, play games and congo!!! OMG three desserts! Vicki, it was a good idea to set the benchmark weigh-ins after the celebrations:). Fishnet stockings were also on show, (Ian didn't need that heart starter coffee after all)!]]><![CDATA[ ]]>2a2422b69425a217e7ebf9885cf13e222015-06-13T23:03:32+01:002015-06-13T23:03:32+01:00Dragons Abreast Australiahttps://scontent.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xfp1/v/t1.0-9/p100x100/14665_848634958553397_7280267024083088945_n.jpg?oh=c6e2bb337ab2cfb0729dd1b713cd0a0b&oe=55E692A3
