This past Saturday, we had our annual regatta down at the club. It was basically an all day event with a cookout put on by the club and members encouraged to bring a side or dessert. A number of events were held to include, but not limited to: timed solo paddles around the island and back (separate heats for canoe and kayak), timed tandem boats on the same course, blind fold tandem canoe race, backwards kayak races, on land corn hole competition, and the most anticipated event.....war boat races to end the day! On the timed boat races, the course had to be run in a club boat to keep the playing field level.....The war boat race teams were randomly drawn out of a hat, again to keep it fair/fun. In years past, there have been canoe sailing races, but this time of the year we generally don't have much of a breeze so the organizers opted not to have the sailing race, but should a breeze magically appear, to put on a sailing demo......unfortunately it wasn't to be this year. Of course with any event like this, a lot of socializing! I haven't heard the official head count yet, but I'm guessing about 75 participants. All in all, a great day on the water!
