Small boat racing

A windy, rainy day ushered in the small boat races. It was, as is typical, loud, noisy, and rather unorganised, but fun. Mary and I competed in the blindfolded rowing race, hard dinghy division, and I am very sad to report there were only two boats. Mary gave me verbal guidance and we went easily around the course, winning a bottle of rum for our efforts. But watching the inflatables race was hilarious! Those things are near useless without motors and it took well nigh an eternity for them to get around. A winner finally emerged and managed, like a crippled beetle, to make it to shore. I would say it took  at least 3 times as long for the inflatable, as it did for me. Great fun!

Battery low, Charlie
