Watch closely as a swell just passes the boat. Right gunwale dips under, bottom of boat is flashed to the crowd, and Freewest misses only one stroke! Thanks for the video, Mike!

The 2008 Stone Dragons lost a close one to one of our main rivals, team Freewest of Thunder Bay, Ontario. On Saturday, July 19th the Stones posted the second fastest times going into the A-Final. The final head-to-head heat left us with a photo finish that felt good no matter what the outcome. In the end we needed to hand over the traveling trophy that had been ours for the year. We'll be back next year!!

The Stone Dragons of the Twin Ports took first place at the Thunder Bay Dragon Boat Race Festival on Saturday, July 21st. It took four tries but the 2007 Thunder Bay Team was victorious. We had a very rough first heat but gained our composer on our second race. Our combined times gave us the fourth fastest and a shot at the gold in the "A" final. From start to finish we were smooth, powerful, and composed. It was such a great win to share with our team of 22. WOW! Way to go STONES!! Chris

Stones,
Thunder Bay is coming up. I hope you are as excited as I am to head up the shore for this fun weekend with great competition. Let Ron know your intentions so roster can be finalized. Last year was the closest we came to winning their festival. It was a photo finish. Let's bring another strong team up there but come back with the gold!!
