Amazons Off to the World Championships in Penang


This has been and continues to be an exciting year for the Amazons. Our 2 new pink boats "Amazon Dream" and "Amazon Warrior" have arrived and been blessed. We ( with Warrior and Dream) participated in the Nationals here at home and were awarded 3 Bronze Medals. To our surprise this resulted in an invitation to the 2008 World Championships in Penang this August. So instead of winding down to a relaxing winter training schedule we have in the space of a week committed a team for the Worlds and are training with even greater enthusiasm.

Thanks to the DASzlers for coming to the Nationals here - it was a rare treat for us to paddle (and sing our song with) another Pink Team.
