Another year of great weather for this event as well as excellent efforts by all entrants.

Was pleased to see Glen Ellyn Backyard BBQ as an entrant, they even finished a heat without tipping over.



That pink hair was awesome. Perhaps Middle may have found a costume to wear while he is cooking.

The best sinking I have ever seen occurred during the heat that had the 'empire state building' entry. They started out with the team paddeling, including a guy that looked like King Kong. Well, halfway out to the first pylon, Kong stands up, rips off a section of the boat to reveal a ladder and begins climbing the building! Of course, you can only image how it all ended as viewed in the photos.

Great creativity on this team's part!

We had a wonderful time at the regatta - missed the empire state building collapse, thanks for posting the pics - the littlest of our troop cut our outing a bit short/

that was awesome!
