Huli drill

The Habu Sake dragon boat team had their annual practise/huli drill/BBQ on Sunday. A Huli drill is a safety drill which involves capsizing the boat, righting it, getting the water out, then getting back in. Rough water made the drill difficult and it was necessary to pull the boat towards shore before getting all the water out. While this was all happening, a Seattle police boat and coast guard copter showed up to make sure no one was drowning!

And where was I during all this excitement? Well, teammate Georgine was going to leave her sweet dog Kai in the hot car so I of course insisted on babysitting. Kai and I had a great time watching from shore!
