Dragonboating in Singapore

During the club crews, the manager from the dragon boat club of the
Canadian Association of Singapore invited all Canadian team members to
come dragon boat with them in Singapore. Although we made our
Singapore plans last minute and had only one night available in
Singapore, we were super lucky and that turned out to be their
alternate practice day for people who had to miss one of the other 2
weekly practices.

The team there is a fun, multi-national team. In fact, we were the
only Canadians out, of the 11 of us paddling. The other 9 represented
8 different countries, and we were told that the full team had members
from 21 countries, and just over 10% of the team is Canadian.

The team practices until dusk, then hauls their BuK boat back out of
the water and pulls out the ice chest full of beer and water. We got a
group photo at this point, but I haven't got it off my camera yet.
Instead, here is Aaron at the boat shed pre-paddle. Notice the maple
leaf on the non-CSA-approved life vest.
