January 8, 2013, Currumbin Waters, Australia


Dragon Boat



We are on R & R for a few days.  Actually we are on a crash diet as we overdid the availability of food on our recent cruise to New Zealand.  Australians are a nation of people who love the outdoors.  They are involved in many and varied outdoor activities.  We see tons of people on the river outside of Barb and Brad’s condo engaging in stand up paddling, kayaks, dragon boats (see pictures) and more.  Ann and I have become interested in the game of Cricket.  I watched a game at the local sports club and we spent the last two days watching the Australian National Team play the game on T.V.  A single game of Cricket can last as long as 4 days.  Much of Australia is in the midst of a heat wave with temps over 100 F.  It makes staying inside and watching Cricket on T.V. easy to do.

  1. If you can do an inward off a rope swing at 74, you should be able to do a stand up paddle. Let's see it! :)
