DragonBoating:CANCELLED due to weather. SafetyFirst. To be rescheduled.StayTuned

Hello and thank you for signing up for MAY 2 Dragon boating.

Alas: no matter how much I talked to Mother Nature - I even told her a few jokes and sang a couple of songs - she did not budge ! Again, women can be difficult- but not me🤣

The weather is going to be rainy and cold May 2: which makes the water cold and choppy and dangerous. Safety first!

Don’t tell me you don’t remember Gilligans Island - it was supposed to be a three hour tour - and look at what happened !!!

Meet ups are supposed to be fun - not dangerous - so I’m going to reschedule this so please watch this space !

If you would rather get your money back now, please contact the business at

Or, sit back and relax, because she is holding onto all of our payments until we reschedule.

You better come back with us when I reschedule! You don’t want me to be sad do you?

Please ensure that you dress in layers. Otherwise, I will have to put you in my coat and hold you like a witto beh beh to keep you safe and warm ! We are entering the boat from the dock. As with all water activities, you may get wet— noooo not from falling in — but from getting splashed —-so please wear waterproof /waterresistant shoes. Bring water to drink. Gloves to protect your hands. Hat, sunglasses, sunblock lip balm. Snack. Raingear/poncho just in case. Do not forget your water bottle. I repeat. Do not forget your water bottle because believe me you will be thirsty. Unless you want to share my water bottle with me and get my germs and cooties, you will bring your own water bottle that will be full of water to drink!

Bring a change of clothes— including socks, and a jacket— and yes, even your undies ! - in case your clothes get wet—- not with p p , but with water!!!!

Remember to check the Meetup site on the day just in case we cancel due to choppy water. Yes I know sometimes Mother Nature won’t even listen to me!

Dragon boating isn’t supposed to be relaxing… but we are. No racing, no sweating, just paddles, laughter, and a giant dragon floating you gently across the water. Come glide, splash, and look majestic doing almost nothing.

Here is a little bit history on DRAGON BOATING : https://dragonboat.house/blogs/news/dragon-boat-festival

meet at the brown shed near Merwin's Wharf Parking between 1:00 and 1:30 pm for a 1:30 PM start to get your life vest and paddles.
There will be training out of the water first, then in the boat experience. Plan on 2 hours for the whole activity. so yes, you better make sure to use the facilities there and go pee pee before you get into the boat— otherwise your change of clothes may actually really be not just for water

Note: The river will be busy that day and throughout. Parking may be scarce near Merwin's Wharf. Suggest free street parking or paid parking lot
across the street at the Foundry.
After dragon boating, we will get something to eatties -restaurant TBA!

So bring comfortable shoes, comfortable clothes you will be out in the sun— sunblock, sunglasses, sun hat, lip balm, I highly recommend gloves because you will be holding a paddle and I don’t want your witto hands to get witto blisters- and bring water to stay hydrated! You might want to bring a itty-bitty pad (like something you would kneel on in your garden for those of us with a green thumb — or even one of those little pillows that you take on vacation with you when you were on the airplane - I am talking a small cushion — the venue may have some we can borrow- for your itty bitty tushi because I don’t want your anybody’s tushi to get sore because we’re sitting on a hard bench in the boat—-

And Get ready for some fun!
