Flying Dragons 2010







Recently I have joined a dragon boat team. Approximately 22 incredible women paddle each Wednesday and Saturday for an hour and a half. These women range from about 45 yrs old to well into the 70's. I was immediately welcomed and shown how to do this so called dragon boat paddling. It was instant love for me as I lost myself during the practice sessions. It seemed to be all about focusing and the worries of the day...the week or even the year just melted away. Being out on the water in the Comox Harbour is beautiful. Being with such wonderful women is a gift.






Unfortunately during one practice I fractured a rib which prevented me from further practices for about one month. I'm back at it now and although taking it very easy on the right side...so far so good. Our team raced this past w/e and although I didn't race with the team due to "the rib", I managed to capture some highlights of the day
