On the water….

…. At Haizhu and Dameisha in Shenzhen.

Haizhu

I went to the Saturday DragonBoat training for experienced paddlers instead of Sunday as we wanted to travel to the beach that weekend and still wanted to go to a practice. Jack and I also purchased our own paddles that are carbon fiber and much lighter.

I brought my A game so as not to show I should not be there. We separated into male and female boats and we raced one another. The women did much better than the guys. Mostly we have better timing and we coordinate well. The poor guys had to put their heads down as their coach was disappointed.

We then drove to Shenzhen to the beach for a weekend vacation. First stop was a restaurant that serves the biggest oysters and varieties of seafood. It was seafood overload.

Then we continued on to the hotel which has a private beach and marina. First off was getting into the water and then after we bought some instant noodles to use with the leftover seafood we could not finish. I even took my snorkel to practice though the water was very cloudy.

The hotel gave a free yacht cruise in the ocean. We went on that cruise the second day. We could see Hong Kong to one side of us and the Shenzhen port which is one of the top ten in the world economically. We then headed back to Dameisha Beach.
