Dragon Boating

 Well I decided it was about time that I got going and published a blog.  So here it is! Wednesday’s from May through till September, I go Dragon Boating in a Recreational League.  It is a really fun thing to do in the summer in Kamloops.  This past Wednesday was a warm but not too hot day and about 6:45 pm we headed upstream paddling hard and doing drills along the way.  About 45 minutes upstream we headed over to check out a beaver lodge and then turn around and head downstream, unfortunately we didn’t see the beaver but instead lots of little fingerling fish jumping around his lodge.  Along the way we regularly see the Osprey Family and lots of geese and goslings so it is pretty neat.  We also go by lots of houses, a Motel and a Restaurant so there is always someone to wave at (as long as our leader doesn’t have us doing drills).  Dragon Boating is a good workout for pretty much your whole body, legs to brace yourself, your core for getting power into the stroke and of course your arms with the paddling.  Anyway, I have included a few pictures from last year (haven’t taken any from this year yet).

Fun on the water
