Notes on Boats

Man is a social animal. What does this mean when it comes to cardboard boat races? As Confucius says, "Better to drown in boat with friends than to win race in own boat alone." Of course, the choice is much sweeter when you end up nearly winning in a 30 foot long boat with a few friends. We won the first heat without competition but sunk before finishing even half of the second race. My own boat didn't fare too well when I took it for a little spin after the race. :o)
