On Saturday, July 28th the 30th Annual World Tuna Flat Races were held in Hubbards. I volunteered at the registration desk but was soon asked to join a team competing in the races. We were called 'Da Babes'. My teammates were Gail Dominey, Sarah Archer and Joanne Allen-MacDonald. After finishing second in our heat we qualified for the final race in boat #2. That's me with the single paddle steering and pulling for all my worth. It was a close race but WE WON! Not quite the London Olympics but we felt like we'd won a gold medal. A great team effort and a great summer day in beautiful Hubbards.
