Dragon Boat Races on Okinawa

The annual Dragon Boat races take place in the Naha port, with dozens of teams racing three boats. The boats don't change, but the teams do for each race. The Americans had plenty of teams, and did relatively well in the competitions against the Okinawans. The races lasted all day, and quite the festival atmosphere with food vendors and games booths everywhere.
