The Ice Dragon Boat Festival was back at Dow's Lake for Winterlude 2018, and it was a pleasure to watch. And for the participants, many of whom no doubt take part in the larger summer dragon boat racing down at Mooney's Bay, a harder thing to do on the ice than rowing through the water. I approached the starting line.
And they were off.
At the far end, the next heat of the races would soon start.
Teams were easily identifiable.
The Ice Hogs were around to pose for photos.
It's quite something to see in person. And crazy to do. But in a fun way.
One last shot from the north end of the course.
Love the Ice Hogs.😄😄
