How does one do a cardboard boat regatta you might ask?  First off you need a bunch of boats and secondly and most importantly you need a body of water with a current.  The Krystal River was the perfect place to have our regatta.  Team leaders took the boats to the far side of the river and were all let go at the same time. 

Summer and her daughter's "Eclipse Warrior" quickly shot far out front and we were all certain that they were going to be the winner...



...but you never know how a regatta is going to go as the Eclipse Warrior a couple of feet before crossing the line hit a dead pocket and just stopped.  Coming around the bend was Jordan and Bond's creation followed by the most unconventional design in the race.



With the Eclipse Warrior stuck in the dead zone Bond and Jordan's "SS IDontKnow" came around and overtook the once insurmountable lead...



...and became the first winner of the BahnCon Regatta!



With the victory comes the spoils.
