Milk Carton Derby

We were lucky to be in Seattle for this Green Lake event.  It was lots of fun and we could cool off with a swim in the lake.  Ben and two friends paddled the serpent boat designed by the friends' father.  They won the first heat but got blown off course and came in third in the final runoff.  The boat and crew won a $100 certificate from an Italian restaurant for their overall appearance.

The green and yellow boats were 1st and 2nd.  Our team beat the green boat in the first heat by a hair.

  1. The dragon certainly looks the most creative in the pictures you show. Not the most hydro dynamic however. The others that won look like decorated boats. Looks like a fun day.

    1. The boat actual went quite easily and tracked very well but the other boats had more adult muscle power.
