Dragon Boat Racing

Yes it was that weekend again when the Weymouth young and old climb into a long thin boat that we allowed the Japannese to patent fro us and wreck themselves trying to get the solid lumps that they are along a 200m course in front of the other old gits trying to do the same.

This Sunday saw my team, Wessex Dragons, beating the New Look Gym team twice out of three times! A feat that we’ve never acheived before. We made it through to the semi finals but sadly lost the plot at that stage, possibly due to the fact that there was a 2 hour lunch break during which we adjourned to the pub.

My mum & dad then did a BBQ for Mary, me, cousin Jane, her son Jacob and her Fiance Mike. We’d all been paddling and the lads amongst us half froze during a good long swim. Fun had by one and all, after the BBQ we went to The Boot, Weymouth’s oldest and most haunted pub for another glass of wine, this time with Dean & Jane, then retired to bed, quite knackered. Some old guy in the pub was talking about a 2nd hand phone he’d just got from my mate’s website about second hand mobile phones.
