Dragon Boat Training

I'm exhausted so this is going to be short. The dragon boat team met at Stanley pier at 4:45PM. About half of the women are Stanley housewizes (very rich women)! Practice started with some brief explanation of how to paddle while leaning out of the boat. Then we headed out into the water. The conditions as the coach indicated were shitty (in a Bristish accent). It was rainy, dark, and really choppy. We headed out to another cove to find smoothier water to work on drills, but we didn't find smooth water anywhere. We ended up just doing drills out on the open water before heading into shore.

I got a few compliments from the coach, but I did completely soak the lady sitting in front of me. I got smacked by the paddle of the lady behind me though, so I think we are all learning. We paddled for a bit over an hour. My arms are a bit sore, but I am going back next week.
