The Blessing of Intrepid at Ballarat

On 22nd March, Ballarat Dragons Abreast had Intrepid, our Dragonboat blessed by Ani Tsering a Buddhist Nun. The ceremony was very moving, specially when the Angels Abreast families unveiled their plaques. They had been covered with sprays of flowers. We now know if we didn't before how special our organisation Dragons Abreast is, and we are not just paddlers.

We were joined by some 200 guests and family on this special day.

There were so many comments of the depth of feeling felt by them. We are happy Gabrielle Boermans was able to dot an eye for us as she had brought Dragons Abreast to Ballarat.
