The New Normal | DieselFish Dragon Boat Team

Our new online hangouts are fun and comforting.

Our dock is closed. Gyms are off limits. Restaurants aren’t seating customers. The shelter-in-place period has been difficult for DieselFish Dragon Boat Team.

But that doesn’t mean we can’t see each other. The other night, we gathered together in front of our respective computers for the inaugural session of our weekly video hangout.

Somehow, despite the distance between us, the hangout felt just like one of our after-practice lunches. We shared laughs, talked about our lives and even played a frantic game of online Pictionary. 

Our teammates Anna and Akash rule at Pictionary. We’re going to try Cards Against Humanity next time.

Health experts advise people to keep in touch with friends and family during this stressful period. I find it comforting to spend time with my DieselFish family.

➡ DieselFish is currently on hiatus. We’ll resume free lessons in Redwood City after the shelter-in-place period ends. In the meantime, you can email me your questions at DFcaptains@gmail.com. Stay safe!
