Yes, it's dragon boating

For those of you who have wondered why I never include pictures of dragon boating (despite the fact that it has taken up most of my weekends for the past six and a half years), allow me to allay your curiosity with the shot above (the beginning of one of the heats), taken at last month's tournament in Long Beach.

For those of you who wonder why I never include pictures with me in them, allow me to tell you: I am actually in there somewhere. Really.

(Kind of an inadvertent Where's Waldo sort of thing now...)
