Black Sea Dragons South Australia Dragon Boat Club

So today we went our different ways - still exploring beautiful Taiwan 🇹🇼

The conditions yesterday were tough again - sunny and hot in the morning, pouring down in the afternoon. We're very happy that the Australian youngsters are so successful 💙🖤💙💚

And just like that….racing is over! Congratulations to all the teams who have participated, paddled hard and had an amazing time!

2 medals today for the Aussies!

Closing ceremony tonight; last chances to swap shirts and dinner before the crew will split up tomorrow for further travelling or going home.

Race Day 5 - last day of racing for us - 2000 m

They call it the "sweeps" race and we're very proud of our Lou, who safely navigated us through massive traffic around the corners.

Tomorrow will be the official closing ceremony and we had our in-house celebrations tonight with yummy local dishes and a cake.

Meanwhile back in Adelaide... Our home crew supported Father's Day presents shoppers (and others) by manning the famous Bunnings BBQ 💙🖤💙💚 We hope you've enjoyed your sausage!

If you've missed us today but want to support our fundraising efforts, you can still get tickets for the People's First Community Lottery - they make a great Father's Day present; especially in combination with a Dragonpass for 4 weeks of free paddling ☺️

Race Day 4 (no races for us) - Another great day to explore Hualien county. Some of us travelled along the south east coast, while others released their inner child 😅💙🖤💙💚🇹🇼
