by Andrew Morrison | Watching the Dragon Boats trying to park is the next cool thing. The races in False Creek are always fun, but they pale in entertainment value when lined up against their own end game: parking. Grab a sandwich at Terra Breads or Food Cart Fest (if it’s a summer Sunday) nearby and have a quiet laugh as the many vessels (and paddlers) do their damnedest to navigate back to their docks without colliding into one another. It’s like Tetris but it’s played with oars.
