Big H had a bunch of friends rowing in the Dragon Boat races so we went out there on a heavily overcast morning to watch some people row some boats!
there were heaps of people there; tents everywhere and very constricted passageways to get in and out but it was very colorful and upbeat.
some teams dressed up in different costumes:
ready, get set, go!
the SNP Fair Dinkum Shakers (h's team) warm up for their next race:
team shot with the sponsors:
they're closing in on the finish line! i think the boys team came in 3rd overall.
here's the french team:
a couple of H's friends with nice arms:
i see you H!
as you can see, the sun jumped out from behind the clouds around 1 pm and since i was not anticipating such fine weather, that left me burning my flesh without any SPF. i smell bacon!
me and cor enjoying the races (before i burned):
H had a very good smile for most of her pix but in reality, she was not feeling very good at all. i think this captures her true discomfort:
getting ready for the team spirit awards:
look at all the people!
H and Frances post race:
The Stanley Market:
meanwhile, back at the beach:
Big H, Tony, and Teresa: The SNP cheering squad!
beers all around after the races! Say Ah!
a great day at the beach. i'd not been to that side of the island before so it was fun for me. and i was lucky enough to catch the races on my trip (a fantastic photo op) but goddamn the fucking sun that burned me to a crisp. now i look like a lobster and smell like bacon. Happy birthday to me!
