Dragon Boat Race Festival 2011

aka Naha Haarii... As legend goes, this tradition dates back a ways to when groups of fishermen raced against each other in a ritual intended to ensure a good catch during the fishing season. Now they just do it for bragging rights I guess, and as an excuse to have a festival. It's held annually at the beginning of May. The boats are pretty neat and now a days the Americans have several teams that enter the race.
