Finally I got to see Rachel doing her Dragon Boat rowing. It was a splendid autumn morning at Montreal's Olympic bassin on Île Notre-Dame and Alice, Lily and I just got there on time to see Rachel lining up with her team for their second race of the tournament.
There were hundreds of teams from all over the province, of various levels and genders: all-male, all-female or mixed like Rachel's "Remix" team.
After watching a race of very impressive all-male boats paddling like crazy across the bassin, we got a good view of Rachel's race which was very tight between the first four boats, although Rachel's boat was at the very back (boat #5) and we could only catch a glimpse of the green-top girl.
They finished the 500 meters in fourth position, as it turned out, but their coach was pleased with their performance...
... and so were her rowmates...
... as wel as her fans on the dock !
