So, just what DOES a cardboard boat look like? Would you beleive, a Kiyak?
A Riverboat? A Lobster boat? Well, of course you would! How about a
Guitar? VW Beetle? Starship? Well! Add to that list dragons, shark
The images below are a sampling
of the pictures taken that day. They are shown in chronological order, making it
easier to find races you may be looking for, if you know when you raced. I am truely
sorry, but I don't have the names of all of the boats or crews with me, so you have to
fill in the descriptions as best you can. If I get email with details and
clarifications, I will update these pages.
