With two of my teammates. The guy in the hat, with a full beard, was my seat-mate. We were the BACK ROW.
It was a BLAST. So glad I did it. We had so much fun.
Our boat, with 16 paddlers, 1 steerer & 1 drummer took part in 3 races. We WON ALL THREE! That was pretty amazing given that this was an ad hoc, scratch team. We had never practiced. together.
We had 4 Jamaicans on our team. One was with me on the back row. We had fun.
This was good.
Glad we did it.
I heard about this EXCITING event — right up my alley — last year, BUT it was too late to get a spot on a boat.
Not so, this year. Furthermore, THE ORGANIZER, ‘Pat Anderson‘, is a senior member of the ‘Laconia Rotary Club‘ — my club. So, it was EASY. I was on her boat.

Yes, of course, I got it from Amazon — as I do with 98% of everything I buy (including coffee, ketchup, dog food, TP, batteries, etc. etc.)
But, I thought of it — i.e., getting a dragon shirt for the event — TOO LATE. This was the ONLY one I could find that was available THIS WEEK.
There are some REAL NICE ones, BUT I couldn’t get them this week. Most of them were on 7 — 10 day shipping. Too late. So, this will have to do. I will order some better shirts over the winter.
Hope to see you at the event Saturday.

This should be fun. I am excited. Yes, I plan to take a few pictures.
Maybe some of you could try & attend. Hope to see you there.
