Minimal Regatta

On Sunday afternoon Bill and I went to the Minimal Regatta held in front of the Schooner Wharf Bar in Key West. It was absolutely hilarious to see 47 boats race around 5 buoys. Each boat was handmade and was built out of one sheet of plywood, two 2x4s, fasteners, and one roll of duct tape. Some of the boats were incredible, others not so much. There were thousands of people there and we had a really great time. Several of the boats sank, most were cleverly painted/decorated. I think my favorite was the 10 year old who won his heat in a batman boat and costume. We took a ton of pictures.....
