I never tried dragon-boating, but was in crew for many years--mostly as a coxswain (and there's always demand for those). I think my major adjustment would have to be getting up at 4:30am again every day. May have to just take up an afternoon rec-rowing club or something, to see if I still have the passion. (And I might end up with kids in the next few years as well, sigh.)

I live in PDX, abaya, but have quite a few friends in Seattle. Its changed, but still remains Seattle.
Dragonboating is different from crew in the paddles, muscle groups, timing, etc. We dont so much row as dig. What is similar is the team aspect, hard work, and the ungodly hours. Its just cruel in the dark of winter - a.m. or p.m.
