Nanaimo Bathtub Regatta Enthusiasts

Welcome, brave souls and aquatic adventurers, to the Nanaimo Bathtub Regatta Enthusiasts group! Here, we gather not just to celebrate the fine tradition of floating bathtubs in Nanaimo's delightful waters but also to dissect the ancient art of bathtub buoyancy and splashy shenanigans. Join us in analyzing the crucial aerodynamics of rubber duckies and the strategic placement of pool noodles, as we dive deep into historical anecdotes dating back to when the first daring soul decided that a bathtub (and perhaps a beverage) deserved to chug through waves. We meet annually, donning our finest life jackets and an array of bizarre headgear, ready to engage in serious discussions about foam, flotation devices, and the nature of competitive soaking. Come for the friendship, stay for the nostalgia, and inevitably become part of a tradition that's almost as iconic as the Nanaimo bar. If you can paddle, plan, and perhaps partake in a ludicrous costume, you're in the right place!
