Race day is here. Our boat finished first in the Brigantine Division. We had eight men paddling and took the lead at the start. The Del Webb ladies in the "Flying Dragon" were right behind us in second place. The ladies also garnered the coveted "Peoples Choice Award" for the most money collected for their charity "Old Salem Fire Rescue".

Construction day 20 - 8/1/2011

Turned the boats today and started working on the decorations for the men's boat. Added skull & crossbones cutouts to the sides. Cannons were added to the bow deck. Determined how we are going to attach the 1" PVC pipe mast. Dave is buying some black spray paint for plastic. Jack made a "crows nest" for the top and we also have a "Jolly Roger" flag. Dave started designing some additional cardboard add-ons. We are back to a 3 day a week work schedule.
