Boat Storage

We had a storm this past weekend, so to be safe, I took the boat out of the lake. The boat ended up in the front yard for the duration of the storm. After the storm I pulled up the cover so that it could dry out. The boat is back in the lake.

Whale Watch

Linda and I went on a Whale Watch on Saturday. We drove to Gloucester MA, and then took a 30 mile boat trip to Provincetown to see whales.

The boat captain reminded us that this was not Sea World and don't expect tricks.

But the whales did start to wave bye when we left.

Cardboard Boat Race

This weekend the "Lunenburg Annual Cardboard Boat Race" was held at Whalom Lake. The boats must be made of cardboard, and tape on the seams. They can be painted with latex paint.

There were some outstanding entries this year, including a pirate ship.

The beach bunny.

A group of 4 kayakers that were paddling experts.

The M&M, Swedish Fish, and Jelly Baby entries.

After all of the initial heats were run, all of the boats that would still float got to run in the final race.

A number of years ago, Linda raced in this event with the 6 library trustees all in a single cardboard boat. This race is organized by our friend Karen. Thanks Karen for the entertainment.
