When Docklands local Sue Mason was recovering from breast cancer surgery in 2021, she sat by her window listening to the drum of dragon boats echoing across Victoria Harbour.

Relatively calm conditions on the water tonight with just a slight breeze — perfect for a solid training session. The views over our playground, Docklands Harbour, were absolutely stunning as always.

A big welcome to Brenda, our newest paddler — great to have you on board!

It was a tough but invigorating session. Thanks to Johnny for putting us through our paces 💪

Loving the feel of the new paddles slicing through the water — smooth and powerful!

Well deserved dinner afterwards at San Marzano.
