My husband remembers building his boat for the Raingutter Regatta when he was a cub scout. He just pulled it out of a box (note to self: should snap a picture of that). Most people have heard of the Pinewood Derby, but the Raingutter Regatta is a little less known. The premise is: boy assembles and accessorizes boat. Boy places boat in water filled track. Boy blows sail to advance boat to finish with hopes of accomplishing this before his competitor.
Here's our story:
It was a GORGEOUS night for it.
The tracks were set up in a church parking lot (wise move since there was water dripping from rain gutters).
Have I mentioned that sister has always wanted to be a "Pub Scout." Dad let her build a boat as well. Of course she customized it to be a water craft for her Littlest Pet Shoppe pup.
He won some and lost some. Event was a success. And did I mention that the
SKY WAS BEAUTIFUL!!!!
I love your pictures! I love, love, love the story you told with just the images.
