Jolly, left, a basic electrician with Facilities Engineering, Marine Corps Installations, Pacific-Marine Corps Base Camp Butler, Japan, accepts a trophy from Masaharu Minei, chief of the dragon boat organization, on behalf of the Single Marine Program dragon boat team May 5 during the 41st annual Naha City Dragon Boat Races, also known as Harii, at Tomari Port in Naha City, Okinawa. More than 60 teams competed in the races, making a total of approximately 2,300 participants. Three teams, consisting of 32 people per boat, competed against each other in every race. The SMP dragon boat team was made up of approximately 44 Marines and sailors. SMP was slated to participate in two races during the event, but winning their first race with a time of five minutes and 33 seconds, they earned a place to compete in a third race — for the championship.
