Great vacation in Vernon / Kalamalka Lake...
We had so much fun!! Lots of stories to share...
memorable moments:
hot hot hot weather....
swimming off the private dock at Deb's parents' lakeside home
kayaking and canoeing at the dock while sipping drinks and eating watermelon. Watching lightning / thunder storm from the hot tub at Pinnacles Resort on Silver Star Mountain...
Pulling Ashleigh on water skis with a dragon boat.... OH - did I forget about the dragon boat racing?
We did two 200m sprints + 500 sprint, then a 1000 m race with turn on the Saturday. PICTURES more »

July 9th - Gung Haggis dragon boat team practice: preparation for races in Kent WA

The Gung Haggis Fat Choy dragon boat team is getting ready to go to Kent/Seattle dragon boat races, just south of Sea Tac airport on Lake Meridien. It is part of Cornucopia Days in Kent WA....
We had a mix of veteran paddlers, rookies, and brand new beginners. A full boat of 23 paddlers... okay... a wee bit heavy. It was important to prepare the team for the races in Kent WA, for next week, so we started off with some warm-up, then did a 500m race piece. It was a little bit ragged, so we did some exercises for timing and technique, before working on our starts, and finishing off on another race piece....
The Cornucopia Days festival has a real small-town America feel to it. The streets are closed off.and stalls lined the curbs. There is music, and amusement park rides. The bars are open, and so is the beer garden. There is no great variety of multicultural music, arts and culture like in Canada... but there generally is classic rock and roll, country music and an Elvis impersonator or two. more »
