It is a lot of fun. We also raised money for charity $1000 for the library and usually another $1000 for whatever charity we picked ( Hospital for Sick Kids in Toronto and Gilda's club, a cancer support centre). We paddled on Lake Simcoe, it's an hour north of Toronto. There are some huge Dragonboat Festivals on Lake Ontario and the International Dragonboat Association held qualifying trials for the World Championships on the Welland Canal (close to Niagara Falls) last year in September. If I was 20 years younger I would seriously consider becoming a professional Dragonboater. Now, I would just love to enjoy some time out on the water, be it in a dragonboat, canoe or kayak. And yes we only dragon boat in the summer. Usually, Lake Simcoe is frozen over completely (not his year) and it would be really, really cold out on the water. We are expecting temperatures of minus 30 degrees Celsius this weekend. Brrrr!!!
V,
You should try it!!! I'm sure somewhere in England they have dragonboating. .
