Although it was a bright and crisp start to the day at the Grand Canal Dock, the Plurabelle Paddlers had no time
to enjoy the beautiful surrounds of the dock in the early morning sunshine; they were too busy training hard! But, after all that hard work on the water, a brunch with paddling friends was very welcome indeed, so the hungry Plurabelles gathered en masse for a post-training brunch in a nearby restaurant. It wasn’t just the tasty food that proved to be a winner, but also the opportunity to chat outside the boat and to socialise together.
Despite the lack of fabulous weather, the Pink Regatta was an enormous success. Plurabelle Paddlers came together and
organising and managing a regatta that ran like clockwork. To our delight, over 100 BCS paddlers and additional supporters travelled from all corners of Ireland to the Grand Canal Dock in Dublin for the Pink Regatta. With composite teams comprising paddlers from different dragon boat teams, the Pink Regatta proved to be a fantastic opportunity to paddle alongside old friends and to make new ones.
