[10/16/04] Madisonville Wooden Boat Festival

Once again, our aquatically challenged band of friends entered the Madisonville Quick-N-Dirty Wooden Boat Competition. Our theme was Gilligan's Island. With some highly creative thinking, we decide to call our boat the S.S. Minnow. I used my Aerospace Engineering knowledge and designed a boat. What do Aerospace and Boats have in common - NOTHING!!! This might explain our outcome in the race. However, we built our boat faster then any of the other 16 teams and it looked damn good. We ended up winning "Best in Show" based off of scoring in 10 categories and the crowd favorite. The crowd always loves us - it probably has something to do with our alcohol consumption, party atmosphere, and our tendency to pass out freebies based on our theme. Enjoy the pics....
