Dragon boat update. While Saturday was a beautiful day, it was a windy day and for anyone who has ever been in a Dragon boat can tell you, that's not good. After one boat on the very first race sank the organizers dropped the teams from 20 people to 16 and removed the dragon head and tails from the boats, all due to the chop. Our team, "Wreck Ashore" made a great showing and though we did not win any of our races, we never finished last (or sank). This was a great event, we ate, drank, got sun burned and raised alot of money for Habitat for Humanity which by the way has repaired over 80 homes locally due to flooding from Hurricane Wilma. If you ever have the chance to participate in one of these races, I highly recommend you do it. Just remember to stretch.
Happy Mother's Day to all the mom's out there.

What do you mean you did not win!
I see it as a vitory. Our boat and partial crew were on the front page of the citizen and most importantly I can still walk. That is a victory in itself. Ou tof 12 boats we were't last. 2nd to last but not last.
