Jacquie Goodman was one of the many people who went to Martha Creek for the launching of the Lake Revelstoke Dragon Boat Society’s sleek yellow craft this week.
Fortunately for readers of The Revelstoke Current, she came back with some photos of the society’s dragon boat on the water.

We meet every Monday and Thursday nights up at the Frontier Restaurant at 6:15 p.m. We then make a decision to paddle depending on the weather, number of paddlers present and a steers person. We then carpool out to Martha Creek Provincial Campground and load the boat. The paddling sessions are an hour in length. As a visitor or beginner, we will try to have an experienced paddler beside you to help you. The club supplies the paddles and lifejackets. This is the Lake Revelstoke Dragonboat Society's fourth year out on the water. Photo courtesy of Jacquie Goodman
