AeroDragons and Friends ---

Just a quick message to update the rest of the team on our trip to the ALCAN Dragon Boat Festival and to congratulate the Vancouver crew on a job well done!

AeroDragons made it to the Recreational A Division Finals, finishing 8th with a time of 2:15.460 - this is our second-fastest time ever in a Mixed division (we did a 2:14.52 last year in San Francisco . . .) - we finished 40th overall out of a field of 165 teams --- NOT BAD for our first time (Race results are posted on our website - www.aerodragons.org)! The winning team - False Creek Mixed A won with a time of 1:56.060 ---

THANK YOU to the Vancouver crew, again we came together quickly and effortlessly to blend in as one. Thanks to Electric Dragons Paul, Audrey and Crystal, Gila Dragons Naomi and Mitzi, and Thunder Dragon Barry for paddling with us! SPECIAL THANKS to Alain from Jetstart for steering us true and for all his support; to Sophon from Jetstart for calling our last race . . . to Swordfish and Captain Edwin Chan for hosting us.

Many fond memories on this trip including . . .
