Regatta


Today was G's last day of rowing camp and they had a regatta.  Jim, Drew, Kayla and Bug went to watch the event.  But there was a little issue....

Rain

BAIL!

They got in a little metal boat to go out on the lake to watch the race -- but unfortunately, the coach that was driving the boat forgot to put the plug in the boat so it started to take on water right away!  At first they just thought it was an old boat with some leaks...but then it got so much water in it that a wave came and they were within a centimeter from going over!

Jim took a knife out of his pocket and they cut open water bottles in the boat and used them to bail out the boat.  So while all the other boats were watching the races, their boat was way behind bailing!

Then when they finally got going, lightening started!

Then the rain came!


We're on a boat!!! (before it took on water)

K, G and Bug
What a crazy day!  Grace was glad they were there but knew something was up when they were left behind!
