2013 San Francisco International Dragon Boat Festival

The 18th Annual SF International Dragon Boat Festival is a free weekend of world-class dragon boat racing in the shadow of the new bay bridge, cultural performances, and family activities at the largest competitive dragon boat festival in the U.S. Lightwave took GOLD in Rec A Consolation with an impressive finish. Way to Go Lightwave!

Rio Tinto Alcan Dragon Boat Festival - Vancouver 2013

Created 25 years ago as a showcase of Vancouver’s growing cultural diversity, this first-of-its-kind event has grown to become a grand celebration of Canada’s unique multicultural heritage with exciting programs and professional performances by well-known entertainers. Visual arts displays and activities from local community groups, and of course, the world-class dragon boat races make the Rio Tinto Alcan Dragon Boat Festival Vancouver’s most anticipated and prestigious summer event.

Lightwave Dragon Boat

What happens when you give paddles to a bunch of competitive and food-loving professionals? They form Lightwave and compete locally and outside the Bay Area in the wet, intense sport of dragon boat racing. Formed in 1996 when dragon boat racing first became a sport in the Bay Area, Lightwave has since become a co-ed team with members from many backgrounds and disciplines. Although we practice hard and love to bring home trophies and medals, dragon boating is also an excuse for all of us to simply hang out and eat together after each practice session in Redwood City or San Francisco.

Anyone interested in doing gardening and volunteering at the same time? The National AIDS Grove Memorial at Golden Gate Park needs help on 15 March (Saturday 9am-130pm) with weeding, replanting, and seeding.

I will have 30+ kids with me and LightWave is more than welcome to help out as well. Wear gardening clothes please.

Awesome practice today in the so unusual (yet so needed) rain! Ended up in a bunch of dripping wet but happy paddlers. Great team spirit :-)

I wish I took more pix of the food at Jess' NYE party last night, but here's what I made.

Flame Torched Uni marinated in a Sesame oil, fish sauce and shoyu. Placed on an edible sandy beach made of ground roasted rice, crushed almonds + pistachios and garnished with ginger, Clementine wedges and nori. ;)

I think Alan has flaming footage.

Thanks for the delicious yumptious scrumptiously cute macarons Wendy! ^_^
