Dragon Boat At The Beach

Way to represent team and way to EAT!

Thanks to the incredible support of our team and community, we raised $544 through donations and meal orders at our Annual Texas Roadhouse Fundraiser! 🎉

The team truly showed up in a big way — from spreading the word, to bringing friends and family, to volunteering at the info table and sharing our story. Every bit of support helps keep our paddles moving and our team strong.

A huge THANK YOU to everyone who volunteered, worked the table, donated, and came out to support us.
And most of all a huge paddles up to Texas Roadhouse for allowing us to take over their restaurant for our cause!
Everyone’s positive energy and teamwork make this group so special. ❤️

Day 2 on the water!

Another full-boat on our leisure paddle and just as beautiful and magical as Day 1. The tide was low and the pollen turned the water into a swirly yellow canvas — a true sign of spring on the Waccamaw.

Coach Steph and steersperson Laura shared their knowledge of the local birds, plants, and of course… alligators 🐊. Right on cue we spotted a 3–4 footer sunning on the muddy bank!

Fun fact: The temperature of an alligator’s nest determines the s*x of the hatchlings — cooler nests produce females and warmer nests produce males. Turtles are the opposite: warmer nests produce females and cooler nests produce males! 🐢

Beautiful water, great company, and another wonderful paddle.

Well done, team!

🚣‍♀️ A two-boat beginning to 2026! 🚣‍♂️

Our first paddle of the season is officially in the books! After a wonderful warm-up session led by Patti and our pre-season safety reminders, we launched both the Juno and the Mary O’ on the Waccamaw River. Despite cloudy skies and a very low tide, the water was smooth as glass—perfect paddling conditions.

We welcomed four new paddlers who did a fantastic job, and the excitement was clear—everyone was truly READY to get back in the boat! It felt so good to be back on the water together.

Coach Kathy summed it up perfectly:
“What a wonderful way to begin another great season on the water!”

Teammate Susannah added:
“Thank you to our wonderful coaches and steers for the day.”

Here’s to a season full of strong paddles, teamwork, and beautiful days on the River!

What makes a bluebird sky and 70° day even better? Returning Juno and Mary O’ home to the Waccamaw! ☀️🚤🐉

The cherry on top? June’s husband Bill Shea on site supervising operations while her son Tom showed some serious skills navigating the truck and trailer to get the job done. Now that’s teamwork!

How we’ve missed being on the water! 💙

Juno and The Mary O’ are looking absolutely beautiful! They’re currently resting on the trailers, needing just one more coat of varnish before going back into the Waccamaw!

A huge thank you to Laura, Lori, Susannah, Susannah’s husband Dan, Bruce, and June’s son for coming to help us flip the boats over — and to everyone who has worked so hard to get Juno and Mary O’ back into “ship shape.”
Well done Team!

Paddles Up…….soon! 🚣‍♀️💙
