Battle formation

Had the dragonboat out with 22 paddlers, as well as all four outrigger canoes. It was pretty cool actually, sometimes when the dragonboat was stopped, and two outriggers were on either side, it was like a heavy battlecruiser with several destroyers in formation. Too bad noone was on shore with a camera this time. But actually, the dragonboat is pretty fast, I thought an outrigger, being light and streamlined, could keep up to it, but it was not the case. Haha, was joking next time we take the lead and the dragonboat is going to pass us, we'll just steer in front of it, wave the safety manual shouting "who has right of way?!" and piss them off. C suggested A and I might be able to match a full dragonboat, sounded like a challenge but unfortunately no opportunity to test it, and I'm losing another month of paddling practice.
