My boat made it across the pool and back just fine, actually. It was the only boat that suffered absolutely no damage from the trip. It was one of six that were still usable after the race. Yay, me. Of course, I totally lost, but I didn't come in dead last in my heat. Photos of me to come when my classmate who took them e-mails them to me. I look cute. Seriously.

Here we have the pool. Nice, outdoor pool, lovely, warm, sunny day. Sorry you Northeasterners.
The prize: The Cardboard Cup!
This guy's boat floor just gave out on him.
This boat just folded in half.
The small "modified bathtub" boats made for a real race.
The surfboard boat just folded, too.
One of my classmates wins her heat!
This pontoon actually made it across and won her heat, then was unable to race in the semifinals.
Um, yeah. Did not work very well, but made it across and back which was better than I expected.
Made it 10 feet and then sank in a flurry of wet cardboard.
This guy, who won the race overall, DUCT TAPED his paddles to his arms. Hope he shaved first. As predicted, pretty much the whole final race was strong guys.
