Best dressed boat.
Paddlers for Life Windermere often participate in the Best Dressed Boat competition organised by Lake District Boat Club.
Members spend time decorating our dragon boat on a chosen theme. Then paddle the mile or so from Low Wood to Bowness Bay arriving for the 6 pm parade round Bowness Bay.
