Dragon boat racing is pretty universal and a great way to meet friends. Irene (me) joined the BGC Stormy Dragons team a few months ago and raced for the first time in Hong Kong this weekend in Shatin. Great times but tiring. Besides attending Catholic Churches around the world, I'm convinced Dragon Boat racing is fairly universal and almost standardized. There are subtle differences in the stroke, lingo ('point' not 'pacers') but generally quite universal. Mind you, I've now only paddled in Toronto, Vancouver, Victoria, Portland, Boston, Singapore and Hong Kong. Anyway pretty draining weekend which included 10 person small boats, 200m courses (its usually 500m) and 2km circle races. All the best to my dear niece Mia who has surgery on Monday. Be brave as I know you will be!
Enjoy Sunday everybody!
