25.01.2022 Due to COVID shutdown and restrictions, Amazons End of Season Event morphed into a Season Opening Celebration with a sumptuous Pink High Tea and a glass or two of pink bubbles. A lovely afternoon at the fabulous Chapels on Whatley celebrating everything Amazons. Congratulations to this years award winners: The lovely Jo took out the very well deserved Boat Buddy award and the gorgeous Rae Ellen was a dual awardee taking out Coaches Award and Club Champion. Both recipients were very deserving of these annual club awards. Well done ladies

17.01.2022 D : Georgina Smith : Admin Director... ? 2014 ? Perth Pirates DBC : The fitness I have achieved. It has been a long journey and I still have so much to achieve. But I have come so far in my fitness journey, and have achieved so much that I once thought was never possible. I am currently the fittest I have ever been, and I look forward to what the future holds. I could not have done it without each and every person I have paddled with. ? Dragon boating has taught me that no matter what your goals/dreams or reasons are, if you believe in yourself and constantly try to better yourself, you can achieve amazing and wonderful things. : Every race in which the boat lifts and glides down the lane. The feeling of the power, connection, and support of the whole boat. Knowing that every single person is digging deep, pushing themselves to the max, and working together to achieve the same result. One Team, One Boat, One Stroke. The strength that every person in the boat helps drives me to give more than I thought I could and hope I am giving them the same drive. ? I did dragon boating in high school for a season back in New Zealand. When I moved over here it was on my bucket list of things I wanted to do. Asked Mr. Google for my local club, and the rest is history ? Milk, and lots of it. Especially Banana flavoured milk. And my after Regatta routine often involves a good stretch and a litre of milk, straight out of the bottle. #georginasmith

15.01.2022 So wonderful to be back on the water yesterday. After an unscheduled hiatus due to the current pandemic, Amazons hit the water with enthusiasm and joy. How lucky are we to live in beautiful Western Australia? Our thoughts and prayers to our fellow dragon boaters in Victoria.

14.01.2022 Great racing at the first regatta for the season. Love a close race.

14.01.2022 What a bubbly, beautiful young lady. Stephanie is sharing her story to raise awareness of breast cancer issues and the impact it can have on so many people, not just the person going through treatment. Such a champion

13.01.2022 Well done DBWA for keeping clubs informed and aware of current restrictions. Amazons paddlers are looking forward to resuming training when it is deemed safe to do so.

12.01.2022 Today is R U OK? day, a day to take a moment and check in on others or a reminder to speak up if you need some support. This year, our world has really changed and more than ever many of us are struggling so we need to listen to those we ask and help support them if they are not ok. R U OK?

09.01.2022 Apocalyptic scenes from coastal Oregon & California due to raging wildfires where smoke is turning day into night. Over 15,000 firefighters are battling millions of acres of fires.Thoughts/prayers for those impacted.

09.01.2022 Very excited to announce that we will be back on the water this coming Saturday morning. See you there Amazons

09.01.2022 On the shores of the Swan River sits Perth, Australias sunniest capital city. Perth is naturally adventurous and home to Indian Ocean sunsets at 19 pristine me...tropolitan beaches. It boasts a world class wine region, the Swan Valley, just 30 minutes from the city centre. The city offers an exciting mix of new hotels, bars, restaurants and cultural spaces along with one of the worlds largest inner-city parks, Kings Park and Botanic Garden. If you havent visited for a while, youll be blown away by how much has changed. And if youve never visited, there is no better time than October 2021! The 2021 Australian Masters Games will be an experience like no other in Perth, Western Australia a year round holiday destination where adventure awaits.

09.01.2022 D : Brad Brooksby : General Board Member... ? 2011 ? Forza Dragon Boat Club. It is the local club in Bunbury and has a great crew where everyone gets along. : The greatest achievement was getting selected for the WA State team, makes one very proud. ? In the past, I have usually played individual sports like golf and baddy. While you can pair or play as teams its an individual effort. Dragon Boating is all team effort, so a different focus where we help each other. : A GOLD medal in Canberra wearing a State shirt will not be forgotten soon, all I can remember of the race was the last 50 m or so trying to get to the finish line with every stroke. ? I started with the Spirit of Bunbury a long time ago, I do remember paddling in the Swan under the bridge with the crew yelling Who Ha and it echoing. That was a corporate team as I was with the City of Bunbury at the time. I drifted off in other pursuits until Debbie joined Forza in 2010, I followed in 2011 and have been involved since then. ? As a member of the RWC (Red Wine Club) at Forza, I would have to say a glass of Merlot. #forzadragonboat #bradbrooksby

08.01.2022 What a legend! Susan is a much loved and respected member of our club and a valuable Board member for Amazons and DBWA. We dont know what we would do without her

08.01.2022 R U OK? Lets keep the conversation going beyond tomorrow. https://www.ruok.org.au/ruok-landing-page

07.01.2022 Hope youre all doing ok. If not, take a deep breath and reach out. There will always be an Amazon buddy close by willing to lend a hand, a shoulder to cry on , or simply to walk alongside you

07.01.2022 Well we have all made it through 2 months of COVID... and how well we have all shown comradery, support and resilliance... finding new ways to train both in fit...ness and paddling, but also support each other with zoom catch ups, etc. A big special congrats to those who had put their hand up and been selected to trial for the Auroras Premier squad to go to Asia later this year that AusDBF and the Head Coach has cancelled given the uncertainty around ability to travel and train . Im sure the Auroras would have done us proud at the competition.. But now to think forward to the next World Nations Champaign... Keep safe everyone

06.01.2022 Happy Mothers Day to all the amazing Mums out there. Wishing you sunshine on your face today and that you are able to connect with your loved ones in some way during these difficult times. Have a lovely day.

06.01.2022 What a fabulous day today. A lot of great racing, some spectacular wins from the other clubs open crews, a lot of great sportsmanship and a special Petals on the Water ceremony to remember our founding member Yvette. Gotta love dragon boat racing

04.01.2022 We all need a bit of this. Have a great day .

04.01.2022 D : Sheryl Kelly : Committee Member... ? September 2016 ? Perth Pirates Dragon Boat Club : Making the state team last year, even with COVID-19 killing the dream for all us this year to head over and compete. Hopefully, the next nationals which will be here in WA will be our year. ? It has certainly shown me the importance of being part of a great team, the support and friendships I have gained from this sport have been fantastic. As the President and part of the coaching team for the Pirates, I am constantly surprised at the heart and determination that individuals show every season. Its what brings me back to this sport every year. : When the Pirate ladies 10 team won 2 gold medals at the 2017 state championships, it was a real boost for the whole club. ? A friend had been paddling for some time and he suggested that I should give it a go. It was at a time when I was looking for a new challenge, so I gave the Pirates a call and they welcomed me down for a paddle. I loved it ? Shocking confession, I am normally that hungry after training I will eat just about anything. Bad habit, but I do try to eat well and keep a balance between paddling, gym, and kayaking. #sherylkelly
