Apparently the Drums on the boats are mostly for traditional purposes... they usually don't even row with them except in races like this! The drummer sets tehir pace according to how the lead rowers set the pace, not the other way around!

Dragon Boat Races
This weekend there was a big Dragon Boat race down around Boat Quay. My brother was in a few with the American Dragons Team. They didn't do too well Saturday, but on Sunday my brother's boat placed 4th in the finals!

Boat Quay has a lot of restaurants along the water, so while we watched the races, we also got to eat! We were at an Irish place...so Stew for me!
