New World Record

We had a few odds and ends sitting around the house from past projects and so we had a F.H.E. contest to see who could build the best boat out of the left over materials. We raced our boats down the raging Logan river on a moonless day and one of them met a fate worse than the Pequod and Cap'n Ahab. Katie definitely won the contest because she managed to do something impossible. Her boat, built entirely from wood, cardboard and glue, managed to float for five feet and then sink. Built from three small peices of wood and it still SANK. It was an evil boat, cursed the moment it was berthed. My boat is still floating down the river, making its way to the Pacific. I'll pick it up next week.
