PHASE2
The NEW WORLD of 2020
It is certainly an global understatement to say everyone is trying to find their way around to co-exist in this "New World". Hoping all of you and your family and friends are well and safe. Short of a miracle, our 2020 racing season is over. ALL May-July races in our region are cancelled or postponed to August or later.
HOW ABOUT PRACTICING???
Team reps have been ZOOMING for a few weeks, planning for a possible soft opening. And finally, after all our hard SHELTERING AT HOME - our Governor is working towards a statewide phased opening. The team reps believe Dragon boat paddling could fall under phase 2 if we manage to fulfill important safety needs. The reality is - it is about IF an individual feels safe, not when someone says it's safe. We ran a dry run of a practice a couple weeks ago and we agreed to start this week. Here's what you need to do and know.
