.... just for fun! This was my first time at this annual event, it was a cold and rainy morning but that did not stop the intrepid competitors from braving the elements - and it actually turned into a really nice day.


In they go after starting at the wall - 45 boats (and other inflatable things)

That's Rod (Sandy Feet) in the red shirt and bright yellow hat - made him easy to spot!

They successfully made it to the end, we were all very proud :)

Thanks for looking (more info about the race at http://www.tradepac.com.au/manlyboatrace/menu.asp)

It looks lots of fun. The best is number one, because of the colours, shapes and composition. You can practically see the movement of the people.
