coming in from our winning race. I'm 4th back on the left
I’ve really been missing dragon boating, as our team is finished the season. But this morning there were dragon boat races on the Gorge Waterway here in town. Even though our team was not participating, myself and a few of the female members of our mixed dragon boat team helped fill out an all women’s team that was short of paddlers. It was a beautiful day for racing, and we had so much fun. We even won our first race despite the fact that half of us usually paddle on one team, and half of us usually paddle on a different team. We did lose our second race, but the beer garden and the sunshine helped to cheer us up.

Sounds like you had a good time, and winning the first race was excellent! We have a tradition here of Dragon Boat races on the Labour Day long weekend. (In fact, I just checked online, and this is the 20th anniversary Dragon Boat Festival!) I’ve never participated, but I know the people who do have a great time.
