On a rainy day in the RVA, went to Rocketts Landing to watch the Dragon Boat Races held on the James River every years. Many local teams plus teams from around the US come to compete. It is a fun event and even with the rain which was substantial at times there were a lot of teams which showed up, as well as a very large crowd. The last sort of surprised me but then again Richmond does tend to come out for the outdoor events.
This is one of the races. Usually in teams of three or four and went on early in the morning and into the afternoon. I have been going the past few years and always enjoy the event...like the crowd on hand regardless of the weather.
Looking forward to making this event again in 2018
