Title: San Francisco 2014
Post by: mappingguy on September 21, 2014, 10:47:25 AM
At the San Francisco festival today. 

Loving the scheduling of races and the yellow school buses. 

Minimal wait for the shuttle to and from the hotel this year.      In previous years, it took any where from 45 min to 1.5 hrs to get on the shuttle.   :P. This year....no wait to get on the bus.  Yah!

Hey All,

As always we love having all of our Canadian neighbor teams coming down to join what we think to be a great race and festival.   I will say, however, that I tire of the Canadian anthem at the awards festival every year :P so we are gonna ratchet things up a bit next year for our 20th anniversary races.  I hope to see a blowout best of the west and all of the rest race and expect it to be a sold out event!  So please mark your calendars for next year's race which looks to be September 19 and 20th (you can check confirmation of the dates (should be set by year end for sure) and other things at www.sfdragonboat.com (http://www.sfdragonboat.com))

Hope to see you there,

Hans
CDBA Race Director

@Backward Rowing..The SFO festival is always fun!  Been to the festival 6 times in the last 7 years.  

@Hans Thx for another great festival!  Our team looks forward to SF each year.  Maybe the winning team next year...( if its a canadian team?) can sing "Baby" by JB instead of the national anthem.  :P. It may not be better but it would be different.  ;)  Thanks again.
