Thanks Dan! The dragon boats have been something of a fad for the last 10 years or so. They are flat-bottomed tubs propelled by (usually) untrained paddlers. This group got 15 minutes of dry-land instruction on basic boating safety and how to hold a paddle, and off they went.
On the plus side, there are a couple of dragon boat races for charity every year, that have become very popular. Cheers, Rick http://photo.net/photos/RickW --- On Tue, 8/10/10, Daniel J.
