A Cross Country Odyssey - 2003
Seneca Lake - Cardboard Boat Race
While we were in Watkins Glen the annual Cardboard Boat Race was held on Seneca Lake. The boats are home (hand) made and consist of cardboard and a LOT of duct tape. Some are painted up quite nicely. We managed to see a bit of the action and have a few photos to show.
 Before the cardboard boat race the entries were paraded through town. This boat looks like a cow on its back. |
 Another boat entry. Participants are dressed in shorts, hats and various necklaces. |
 Tsukiko and Yoshiko are enjopying some cotton candy |
 This turkey boat is one of the entries |
 This boat sank during the competition and is in the boat junkyard. (Many entries ended up here) |
 This boat survived the competition and is ready to race again next year. |
