🌫️ Serious Sunday started in a little bit of a fog…

But what a splendid morning on the Ross! 🐉☀️

Heading upriver, the bridge was playing hide-and-seek… where’s the bridge? 👀🌫️

Then, on the way back downriver, there it was! A beautiful reminder that even a foggy start can turn into a fantastic morning on the water. 💙💛

☀️ CARPE DIEM… SEIZE THE DAY! 🐉

We heard Sunrise was LIVE from The Strand from 5:45am… so we grabbed our dragon head, tail & Baby Dragon 🐉🥁 and went for a photobomb paddle! 🛶

A huge shout-out to everyone who set their alarms and joined us — we certainly made a presence! 📺🙌

Sue even made it onto the BIG SCREEN! 🎉

💙 There’s nothing quite like training in Townsville! 💛

We’re lucky enough to have TWO amazing places to train — and both come with pretty spectacular surroundings! 🙌

🌿 The Ross River — our home of Dragon Den training, surrounded by amazing birdlife, curious roos, freshwater crocs and blossoming lily pads. There’s always something happening around us! 🦘🐊🌿

🌴 The Strand — with beautiful Magnetic Island & Castle Hill views and the sheltered marina to help us keep paddling when conditions get a little bumpy. 🌊🏝️

And this week we welcomed two new Come & Tries! 🐉🛶💙💛

A big TDBC welcome to Deb, who has just moved to North Queensland, and Malakay, who is visiting Townsville all the way from Toronto, Canada! 🇨🇦

Whether you’re new to Townsville, just visiting, looking for a new challenge or simply want to try something different — come and give dragon boating a go!

A huge thank you to NQ Phoenix Dragon Boat Club Inc Townsville for putting on such a fun regatta and creating such a great community atmosphere. The wind may have turned up, but it certainly didn’t take the excitement out of the day! 🌬️😄

We loved paddling, catching up with friends and meeting new faces. Days like this are what dragon boating is all about — paddling together, having fun and building community. 💪🛶

Thanks NQ Phoenix — we had a ball! 👏🐉

🌸 Glorious morning paddle along The Strand! 🌊🐉💗

What a beautiful morning on the water — plenty of paddling, friendship, fun and, of course, lots of laughter! 🥰

A big thank you to Janelle & Libby for getting us moving this morning, and a very warm welcome to Deb! We had so much fun, I think she might just be back for more! 😉💕

And a special mention to our incredibly talented singer-songwriter Jude, who has put together a beautiful song for our pink dragon sisters currently in France. 🇫🇷🌸🐉 We can’t wait to share it with them!

If you’re looking for friendship, fun & fitness, we have a seat in the boat waiting for you. 💗
