Five ships set sail for the First Annual Olywood Regatta on July 4th 2009.
All returned safely to port.
No sailors were lost at sea.
No parts were left behind.
And the fish were mildly amused.

Scoping out the competition!
While the homemade ice cream churned back at Olywood, all the skippers and skippees converged on Smith and Morehouse Reservoir.
The variety of original boats was amazing. I have video proof and new video-editing software. Now I just need to figure out what to do with it to make it cohesive.
Beware everyone, I have already started designing next year's winning entry!
The Official Results
1. USS Minnow: Bryan & Whitney -- Grand Champions "We built an actual boat."
2. USS Betsy Ross: Emily, Chad, Hayden, & Tyson -- 2nd Place "Procrastination is the birth child."
3. (tie?) USS Titanic: Laura & Jace "We spent 1/5th of our budget on pink paint!"
3. (tie?) USS Bruce: Matt, Daniel, Megan, & Royal "This is not a life-saving device."
4. USS Fred: John & Barbara -- Turtle Award "However far out you go, you have to come back."
I'm sure our Grand Champions are proudly and prominently displaying the awesome trophy. I even think they will make the traveling trophy bigger and/or better for the Second Annual event.
See you next year on the 4th!
