Dragon Boat

I never imagined that being in a Dragon Boat, even if only as a passenger would be as exhilarating as it is. Wow what an experience, the power these ladies deliver through the paddles has to be felt. The boat seems to jump as they strain with each stroke.
If you have never been in a dragon boat and want to experience something unique find a dragon boat club near you and give it a try.
Cindy was invited to paddle with the other team and she loved it!!!
