Regatta Raft Race 2010

This year we went for plastic containers rather than the heavy metal drums we used last year...in the hope that we'd be more streamlined.

Will it work??
Looking good with Meg on board - it floats!!!

Our staff, Mike Molly, Ben and Jack arrive from working at Whitestrand at 5.30pm just in time for the race start. Only one of them was sensible enough to wear a wetsuit!!!

But as soon as the whole crew boarded, the raft seemed strangely low in the water.

And our dreams of beating the lifeboat crew were crushed

Everyone was well and truly drenched.....fancy a swim?!
