Dragon Boat High School Championships

This past weekend was the High School Championships for the kids Dragon Boat team. It was held at Lake Merced which is just across the road from the ocean. It was predicted to be a scorcher in SF that weekend with temps in the 80's. Upon our arrival at 6:30 it appeared like we were in for a beautiful day. Last year it was very windy and cold making it one of the most miserable days tat I can remember. This year I was taking no chances and had brought lot's of items to keep warm. The King and I walked up by the Zoo to have breakfast while we waited for the races to start. It got very warm on our walk back and we were excited that it would be nice that day. As soon as the races started the fog came rolling in. It went from being sunny to you could hardly see across the lake. Enough of that. The kids once again did very well. The girls team that Crysta is on won the Girls Championship in impressive fashion, killing the competition. The boys team got second place in a tight race with their main rival. The Gold Boat which Elijah is the Captain of won the overall top award. His team managed to win the two top races of the season which he is very happy about. They will race in Long Beach later this summer and can relax a little until then.
