Off to the Paralympics!


Our training is complete, practice boats are put away, bags are packed, and the team flies to London this evening.  Upon arrival we will be transported to the athletes’ village in Weymouth and given our Team Canada gear.  Once we rig our boat, it’s on the water for several shake down sessions in preparation for racing.  Then it’s Showtime!!



Our racing runs September 1-6.
