Wacky Forth Races
Despite the rain, the river was on the more gentler side of wacky so we were able to race the 9 rafts yehah! However it did result in my wellies being filled up trying to launch and rescue the rafts after the race - I will have to get some humpty dumpty waders to match Will :-)
Last but not least was blonde haired Hannah's 'Butterfly', lovely design but the stone bag for stability fell off and swiftly became an anchor not far from the finish line!
A mention also to Alex's raft 'Dave' (above left) who joined in just for fun as he was a wee one, who came in about midway through the other rafts, I lost count a bit :-)

| Defending champion Lewis was back and builds a new raft with Mark and creates another winner, this time with 'The Black Diver'. Unfortunately the diver fell off - he obviously couldn't wait to get in for a dive! |

| Another Lewis, the smallest of three that morning comes an extremely close second with 'The Robin Speedboat' after adapting a previously raced raft. |
Third place is Alex's 'Captain Boat' (above left) sporting a hessian sail. 4th place was Lewis and Adams' The Bat Boat' (below) adapting a previous foam raft and red haired Hannah and Sophia's 'The Floater' pictured above right came through 7th despite being as excellent sturdy floater :-)
Young Leia's Grape and Apple (excellent name ;-) and Abby's Oasis came through next...

Humpty Dumpty at the finish line ;-)
