I'm going to pull a shameless plug for the Singapore Paddle Club here. We're having a canoe blessing ceremony next Saturday, 14 October on Sentosa's Tanjong Beach.
We're acquiring two more outrigger canoes and it's traditional to bless the canoes for good luck. It is believed every canoe has a spirit and life of its own so it needs to be accorded its due respect.
Before the blessing ceremony, the coaches and SPC members will be introducing the sport to anyone who's interested. People who want to know more about the sport can come down and have a quick paddle under supervision. Don't worry - it's perfectly safe and we're not about to tip you over in the canoe.
Introductory sessions start from 12 noon and the blessing ceremony will start at 5pm. If anyone's interested, please feel free to come down or you can drop me a note if you want to find out more.
