Sometimes out on the water, you think it can't get any better … and then it does.
An awesome paddle this morning with just a small crew, gliding quietly through the reeds on the calmest of Lake Wendouree days.

👏 Congratulations, Wendy, on flying the Ballarat flag at the Footscray Regatta! 🚩🐉
There's nothing quite like the camaraderie of racing in a composite crew, meeting paddlers from other clubs, and sharing a great day on the water.
We're proud to see Ballarat so well represented. Well paddled, Wendy!

Saturday morning's dragon boating was a fun, with lots of race practice in preparation for the upcoming regatta season, and the ladies heading to France.
Everyone enjoyed getting on the water. The laughter and camaraderie made it feel effortless, showcasing how enjoyable teamwork can be when everyone supports each other.

Support doesn't just happen on the water.

Just some of the Ballarat Dragon Boat Paddling crew that swapped paddles for sheep, making the trip to the Australian Sheep and Wool Show in Bendigo over the weekend to support Margaret and her beautiful 1st place-winning felted sheep exhibit, and me with my real, still-mobile, occasionally uncooperative Babydolls!

What a wonderful crew. 😍

Ballarat weather can be fickle, but not this morning. A fabulous paddle on Lake Wendouree.
