Here are how Pete and Sam's boats turned out for this year's Rain Gutter Regatta.
It was amusing trying to take the above picture. Pete squatted down to be at the same level as Sam. When Sam saw Pete squatting, he wanted to squat too. So then Pete had to squat more. This continued until they were both almost down to ground level. Like a little squatting arms race.
Anyhow here are the results of the race:
Pete - Pete finished 1st in the Wolf division, retaining his crown. He also won his first two races in the pack finals, but then lost to finish in 3rd place for the pack. Good job, Pete.
Sam - Sam got mad before the race when his boat would not "float" on the grass, so he smashed it. So it will be the job of historians to debate how seaworthy the vessel might have been prior to meeting its demise. We went to the playground for a few minutes, and then Sam and Dad repaired his ship and ran it through the course in a solo exhibition race.
I'm not sure what Pete is thinking about for next year, but I did see him at one point sitting on the hot tub and looking contemplatively at a 2x4. I suspect he is imagining how much sandpaper it would take to fashion it into a "battleship".

Maybe Sam was thinking of "float like a butterfly". Or was it "stomp like a bear". Great work Pete and Same!
They must know about "squatter's rights" already!
