I left the Delmarva Paddler's Retreat on Sunday, but Monday was a holiday ... for government workers at least. So Ursula suggested we join the DC Dragons for their annual Columbus Day paddle and picnic to the Arboretum. We were hoping to get enough outriggers to fill a six-man for the paddle down. But only three showed up. So Ursula and I joined the dragonboat paddlers. For me that was an exercise in pain. I don't enjoy paddling on one side. So every half hour or so Ursula and I switched sides. The steersman was pretty cool about it ... calling "Hut" whenever we switched. To see photos from the event, CLICK HERE.
